Try: $ host www.google.com # watch how long this command takes $ IP=10.11.12.13 # make note of one of the IP addresses returned $ ping $IP # look at packet loss ratio $ traceroute $IP # look at latency That should at least give you an idea of *which part* of "connecting to the outside world" is bogging down. Then, you can run a protocol analyzer (like the infamous tcpdump) to see what's taking so long: # tcpdump -ni eth0 # -n supresses reverse-DNS lookup, which could be confusing Interpreting the output for things like ping traffic is fairly easy. For other traffic, you may need a modicum of knowledge about how the individual IP protocols work. _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
