Hey folks ! I am facing the following problems with internet on my acer aspire 2920 laptop running centos 5.2 ; whenever I launch mozilla firefox 3 beta 5 it takes at least one and a half hours just to load the homepage http://www.google.com/ig which in my windows partition takes just under 1 second and also my internet connection is a speedy 256 kbps / up to 2 mbps on BSNL in india .... Does any one have any suggestions and / or solutions ? Yours, KMB

Run a ping to some nearby well-known IP, such as your router, and look for lost and duplicated packets, which could indicate a problem with your network drivers (are you using wireless?). Also check that your /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/hosts are correct, there has in the past been an obscure problem that causes the whole X window system to perform poorly when it's unable to resolve an IP address for the local host name.

Personally I think this will end up being a DNS problem. Check /etc/resolv.conf and set your DNS settings here.
