The machine is attached to a cable-TV high-speed service via an SMC Barricade router. I get IP addresses assigned by DHCP running on the router. I have tried without the router (connecting directly to the cable modem), and get the same results. When browsing certain web sites, including www.cnn.com, there is about a 90 second delay when I load the first page; subsequent pages are quite fast. I don't get the same problem with Windows 2000. Any suggestions, please? Do I need to enable a DNS caching server? To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
