outside world are excruciatingly slow. (Connection to google takes
minutes, other computers on the same network, seconds.) I do know that
my router does not like to pass through IPv6 info, so I am suspecting
something like this.
Are there some tools I can use to determine what is actually happening?
Firewall or traffic analysis? If someone could show some sort usage it
would be greatly appreciated.
Have you tried the simple things first, like checking that
/etc/resolv.conf is set up correctly, and /etc/nsswitch.conf?
Check top and see what's running. Is there something eating your
bandwidth, like a torrent download set off by Myth?
And, have you tried just resetting the firewall?
A diagram of the setup might help too... And check that the Myth box
isn't running iptables or something that could be interfering.
Paul,
Thanks for responding.
resolv.conf looks benign.
; generated by /sbin/dhclient-script
nameserver 192.168.1.1
search localdomain
Actually the gateway is at 192.168.1.1. The gateway has two nameserver
addresses.
/etc/nsswitch.conf looks ok, I think.
It says to look to files for ethers, netmasks, protocols, and networks.
I don't know where the particular "files" are, so I can't comment on
whether they contain the right information.
top indicates that there is nothing eating cpu time.
I did find a bunch of stuff when I googled "fc6 disable IPV6". Like
unresponsive internet access, and sluggish behavior. I first noticed
this when I ran the mythfilldatabase command. Sometimes the connection
would be refused or reset. I was hoping a RH expert would jump in here
(not that you aren't one, are you?) and say something like, "we
recommend you turn off x,y but not z... because you need z for this
essential function in FC6." In any case, thanks for your help so far.
As for resetting the firewall, how does one do this? I am quite the
noob for most of this.
Thanks,
Bruce
