Sorry for reposting this, but I forgot a subject. I'm having a problem with my internet connection on Linux-Mandrake. I've just installed LM 7.2, and the connection is very slow. I know it's not the servers because my Windows connection works just fine, so I'm trying to figure out if my configuration is wrong. Here are my ping results from 2 nearby servers (I'm on Georgia Tech's campus) --- acme.gatech.edu ping statistics --- 361 packets transmitted, 173 packets received, 52% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max = 0.7/1.2/10.5 ms --- oscar.cc.gatech.edu ping statistics --- 172 packets transmitted, 82 packets received, 52% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max = 1.3/2.1/6.1 Here's my internet configuration as of now (using linuxconf): Adapter1: Enabled, Dhcp on, primary name + domain = pianoman.resnet.gatech.edu (I've also tried r65h13.res.gatech.edu); IP address = 128.61.65.13, netmask = 255.255.255.0, Net device = eth0, Kernel module = 3c59x. DNS servers listed (automatically): 128.61.15.251, 130.207.244.251, 128.61.15.244 Gateway: 128.61.65.1 (same as on Windows OS); I've tried enabling routing and disabling it Routed daemon config: I've tried both not exporting any routes and exporting my default route Host name search path: hosts, dns, multiple IPs for one host I've also tried having no other networking services running and some running, but neither had an effect. I've also had LM 8.0 running, and the connection was still slow. My ethernet card is a 3Com 3c905C-TX [Fast Etherlink]. My Hardware profile says it should use the 3c59x Kernel Module. I think that's all the information I can give. If anyone has any idea why my connection is slow on Linux (but not on Windows) and could help me correct the problem, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.
