Ive just set up Suse 10.1 as the only operating system on my comp.

Took me a while, but I got the internet going on my ethernet modem (eircom netopia) on a 2mb connection.

Downloading files is fine - from 200kbps - 250kbps, but browsing is rediculously slow.

Browsing is about as fast as dial up, if even.

Im fairly new to linux, so try to break down any advice given.

there was a thread like this a while ago, and the problem was resolved....fire up the ol' search facility there and you should be sorted.

The most effective way I find of searching at the moment is to use the archive http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/archive/index.php/f-32.html, and type / in forefox to get a search bar. The right keyword will give you what you want. http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/archive/index.php/t-2054940531.html, which is probably what Khannie meant.

OH THANK GOD.

I was starting to forget what it was starting to forget what it was like to have broadband!!!

I had to set IPV6 disable = true in firefox.

That link that refered to ubuntu actually was perfectly relevant.

Works perfect now. Thanks all.:D
