RE: Internet with Debian & Cayman 3220 router slower than with Windows & 56K modem

2003-01-04 Thread James Ireson
Well, dhcp will be the reason your resolv.conf is being changed If
you are using pumpd then in /etc/pump.conf put:

device eth0 {
nodns
}

That'll stop it touching your resolv.conf file along with your ip's etc.

no no - downloads are fast, navigation is painful

DCHP is set on the router & also on Linux (I believe at least, because
Linux installed itself from Debian's FTP server using the automatic DHCP
routine of the installer ... )

RE: Internet with Debian & Cayman 3220 router slower than with Windows & 56K modem

2003-01-04 Thread James Ireson
A good guess will be that you have dhcp turned on in the router and on
your machine 

However you say that your connection is like a 56k modem (or slower),
not sure why dns would matter on this one You should find with most
adsl/ cable modems that using their build in dns is fine, they will have
got your isp's dns server address' via dhcp and will be using those to
respond to your machine.

I'm assuming your problem is more that when using the web for example
that downloads go slow rather than you not being able to get to sites?

It is a real pain   there is a program for setting the pppoe
connection that shows up in some kde menu, running it leads the OS to
discover it has a eth0 (which it already knows) and to nothing else
because apparently the interface is already in use by some connection
(wonder which one, I have only one ...) ... ifconfig does not help
either ...

Why does the OS overwrite the resolv.conf file with the settings it
"invented" automatically during the installation instead of accepting my
ISP provider IP address for the DNS server?

I guess your network interface settings are inconsistent with the
router's port (assuming you have connected to it directly).  On an
Ultra use `ethtool' to view and adjust the settings, but that doesn't
seem to work on sparc32.  [I'd actually be interested if anyone else
can say what to use on sparc32.]
