I noticed that site lookup from my linux box was rather slow
took me 5-10 secs to load google for example.
Checked that /etc/hosts has correct 127.0.0.1 hostname form and that lo 
interface was up. Then i tried disabling IPv6 but still no change.
I searched the forums and found that ppl solved it by adding their ISP's 
nameserver IPs rather then their router IPs in resolv.conf
Indeed that solved it for me but both things were needed: disabling IPv6 
and adding the nameservers.

Disabling IPv6 is something that would be understandible since my router 
doesn't support it and so far i know it's not enabled in win XP per default.
But that with the nameservers doesn't make any sence since that isn't 
needed on my windows boxes yet there are no problems.

Anyone care to explain ?
