Hi All
Not sure that this is related to your problem, but I have had a few
problems with 2.6.7 kernels and TCP window scaling (not in ubuntu
though)
This article [http://lwn.net/Articles/92727/] does a reasonable job of
explaining the problem, and is worth a try to see if it helps.
echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_default_win_scale

In lynx, firefox and epiphany it takes from 10 - 20 sek to get a page up because
the browser is looking for the address. If you enter the ip address it comes up
like a flash. I tried static and dhcp network, ipv6 on and off. I got it working
on one computer but I don't know how I did it. I also tried dns-autolookup and
alot of other things with dns and dhcp in the name and resolveconf. I tried diff
dpkg -l comparison and a etc diff comparison. Ping, dig, host and dnstracer are
simular on those two machines. Fedora core 1 has no problem on the same machine.
