cat your resolv.conf (cat /etc/resolv.conf)
then test each server by hand
ie
nslookup google.com 256.256.256.256
where the obviously wrong ip address is the nslookup server
are you using a billion router? i found that its internal name
server was 100% happy with windows but it seriously didnt like
unix clients.

Hi Dean,
Actually what I am getting is very long lookup times but the transfer rate,
on downloads, is just fine.

local dns problems will manifest themselves as failed look ups, long look
up times then normal transfer rates.
if domain names are resolving properly they will be resolving to ipv4
addresses and the stack will use the right protocol.
check your network cable, switch/hub port and look at /var/log/messages
for error messages - it could also be your network card.

Hi All,
My ADSL is as slow as dialup when searching for pages. even google
takes 30-60 seconds to start to display. I know it's only 512k ADSL but
I think there must be a problem as my daughter's XP machine displays all
pages very quickly.
My machine is an AMD64 3300+ running Ubuntu64 6.10 and my daughter's is
a 1700 celeron with XP.
I assumed the problem was DNS related but we both use the same DNS. The
only thing I can see that is significantly different is the existance
of
ipV6 addresses
How do I stop Ubuntu 6.10 trying to use ipV6. I've removed the addresses
where I could find them, but still I get them displayed when I do an
ifconfig.
TIA
