Thank you for this tip. I had noticed some slow down in loading time of some sites so figured I would give it a shot.<div> </div><div>John aka IdleOne <div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Dec 7, 2009 at 7:07 PM, Andy Boersma <<a href="mailto:andy@boersma.ca">andy@boersma.ca</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">Hi Victor, It's a bug in DNS and IPV4/6 There are a couple of temporary fixes for that, I use the openDNS fix only uses 1 file and easy to undo later if you want. Edit the file /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf You’ll see a line commented out (If not add your own)… that says: “prepend domain-name-servers YOUR_DNS_IP_HERE;” I uncommented it and added openDNS servers and changes changed it to: prepend domain-name-servers 208.67.222.222,208.67.220.220,"YOUR_LOCAL_DNS"; YOUR_LOCAL_DNS = your LAN DNS server IP. Restart network or PC. I recommend that everybody does that, speeds all network access in Ubuntu.

After playing around with it I found that it seemed to be a problem with flash on Firefox, so I installed flash-block which made things a lot better. However I'm still getting a huge lag on my system with many other programs. Firefox is still slow, even opening a high resolution picture takes over 5 seconds. I'm not sure what the problem is, and was wondering if anyone is having a similar problem. Here are my specs: Computer - Dell Inspiron 1300 - 9.04 More system info - <a href="http://wazem.org/temp/forums/ubuntu/slow-pc/sysinfo" target="_blank">http://wazem.org/temp/forums/ubuntu/slow-pc/sysinfo</a> Output of top when opening firefox and a high rez pic: <a href="http://wazem.org/temp/forums/ubuntu/slow-pc/" target="_blank">http://wazem.org/temp/forums/ubuntu/slow-pc/</a> Cheers!
