Check out you networking stack. Like NIC Card settings with ethtool and your dns like namserver settings in resolve.conf. If it is getting an address by dhcp sometimes it want pull in the actual real dns servers.
ethtool eth0
spake thus:
Settings for eth0: Supported ports: [ TP MII ] Supported link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full 1000baseT/Half 1000baseT/Full Supports auto-negotiation: Yes Advertised link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full 1000baseT/Half 1000baseT/Full Advertised auto-negotiation: Yes Speed: 100Mb/s Duplex: Full Port: MII PHYAD: 0 Transceiver: internal Auto-negotiation: on Supports Wake-on: pumbg Wake-on: g Current message level: 0x00000033 (51) Link detected: yes
They are reasonably fine. it is a static IP.
All will get is like a 192.168.0.x from the modem/router. Ifconfig ethX will show you the amount of packets dropped also. Possibly a driver issue with your nic? Could be many things you just have to go step by step...
ifconfig eth0 eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:16:E6:96:CD:A8 inet addr:192.168.2.220 Bcast:192.168.2.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::216:e6ff:fe96:cda8/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:3434000 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:1879546 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:2928267020 (2.7 GiB) TX bytes:550552465 (525.0 MiB) Interrupt:177 Base address:0xe000
But then yum install/update etc gives me reasonable speeds in the range of 100-120 KBytes/second and our network load is that much usually. 15-20Kbytes is ridiculous
We have a DNS server (an AD server)
Is it that something that wget puts out in the network that is not liked by our firewall?
