If it makes you feel better, it seems to be a fairly common problem. As
far as I know, though, no one knows why or how to fix it.

I just thought that while we're on the subject of network issues etc,
I'd bring up one problem that I've been having lately. I'm living in
Heritage Halls (for the moment) and I've been having some web problems
lately. I'm just curious if anyone else has experienced something
similar.
The problem is that web sites very frequently time out. These aren't
random sites with slow connections, but major sites like securityfocus
etc. When I connect to a server the first time (eg follow a link to
that page etc) I usually just sit there with "Establishing connection
to www.secutiryfocus.com." If I stop/reload a few times then the page
will eventually come up very fast. I'll either time out completely or
connect quickly. Once I connect for the first time I don't usually
have any more problems on that server (I can browse to other pages etc
with no problems). Sometimes going to the google cache then clicking
a link makes it work fine *shrug*. It's usually worse at high-traffic
times of day. Other protocals don't seem to have problems. I'm
guessing that this is some kind of issue with the byu proxy server.
Any ideas on what it is/how to fix it?
I use Opera as my main web browser, but the same thing happens with
firefox, linx, or anything else. I run Gentoo 1.4. One of my
roomates also has problems like that sometimes (win2k/firefox). Any
ideas are welcome. It's really getting annoying to reload pages three
times before they come up.
Thanks!
