What kind of ADSL router are you running? There are 3 IP ranges reserved for private networks

10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255 172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255

The address that you are showing above is not one of them. It would appear that the IP address is a routeable IP address. Normally an ADSL router would assign an IP within the private ranges specified above. Your connection rates appear quite low, 10.7 kb, 10kb on an internal (I assume 100mbs/10mbs connection) versus the connect rates that I show below.

My guess, based upon looking at it is that you are getting your IP assigned, not by DHCP on the router but by tmdns with the zeroconf stuff in Mandrake Linux. You might want to disable tmdns and retry your connection config.

My ifconfig:

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:50:2C:06:99:CB
          inet addr:192.168.0.101  Bcast:192.168.0.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:9409459 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:8952324 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0
          RX bytes:2527859668 (2410.7 Mb)  TX bytes:721888267 (688.4 Mb)

I swapped back to the old router for a while.


And yes I am using routable addresses, my ISP gives me a chunk of them.
How do I disable tmdns?
