Hello there, I'm having a problem with slow internet, this seems to happen only on web pages or when trying to start a download, once the download gets going then I get about 240kb/sec. The problem is the starting of it takes some time, the same for web pages, they take some time to be displayed. I thught it might be a global problem but Firefox doesn't seem to have this problem (at least not at a glance). This happens with SuperKaramba's LiquidWeather++, Kopete, Konqueror, and YaST. Any help with fixing or pinpointing the problem will be greately appreciated.

System Specs:
SuSE 10.0
KDE 3.5.1
Kernel 2.6.13-15.7-smp

PS: don't have this problem with windows partition, so it is not the hardware...

Thanks in advance for the help.

Thanks for the help... I found a /etc/profile but couldn't find a /etc/profile.local so I made one and put in it the line KDE_NO_IPV6=true as you suggested but no luck. In /etc/profile there is reference to /etc/profile.local but the file did not exist prior to me writting it. Should I add KDE_NO_IPV6=true to /etc/profile? After a restart the problem persists....

Ok thanks for the replay, I couldn't find any /etc/modules.conf but there was a /etc/modprobe.conf with the line you specified. So I made the changes you prescribed and will reboot now, I'll post how it went (I'm crossing my fingers...)

Awesome!!! that did it, thank you both for your help, I owe you a beer. much appreciated...
