I have just installed FreeBSD 5.3, and I am using KDE. Everything is = great. Except browsing.=20 I tried Mozilla, Firefox, and of course, Konqueror, and they take = anywhere from 45 seconds, to 10 minutes to start loading a page. No, = it's not hard ware, and it's not connection.=20 I have a DSL connection, and this is a dual boot box. There is also = another computer on this network (it's an XP Home box, so it's slow = anyway). The dual boot box has windows 98 on it and browsing is so fast = it's crazy. The only trouble I have is using a browser in BSD. links = works pretty good, but I think it should be a little faster, as it's = actually slower than Internet Explorer. It is also dropping connections (ftp, ssh, shoutcast streams) every 10 = to 45 minutes. At least twice an hour. I don't have that problem in = Windows...I have been listening to a shoutcast stream now for over 140 = minutes (I am in windows right now). I also get "Unknown Host = www.foo.com" in all of the browsers (in FreeBSD) ocasionally. Is there something wrong with my box? Could it be a NIC driver thing? = Could it be a setup/config thing? My network is configured from Internet IN: DSL modem (speedstream 5100, router(D-Link DI-614+), then the two PC's.=20 Any help would be great...thanks! --Richard
