tictoc5150 Posted March 14, 2005 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 hiya guys,I've been working on a little problem for a while....the problem: when using firefox (on Mandrake 10.1), it often gives me the "looking up www.blahblahblah.com" in the status bar...killing me with almost dial-up behavior!!!edit: forgot to mention the relevant hardware used...netgear wg311 wireless card using linuxant driverloader and a netgear MR814 wireless B router.So, I was thinking it was dns or /etc/resolve.conf related and while that did lead me in the right direction for a google search, this thread gave me the extremely simple and effective solution of disabling ipv6 in firefox.quoting arctic of MandrakeUsers.org:are you using firefox or mozilla? if yes, you need to block ipv6 there, too. can be done by typing about:config in the adressbar, then in the appearing searchbar, type ipv and set the first entry (ipv6 disable) from false to true by double clicking it.kudos to arctic and I hope this helps someone else out Quote Link to post Share on other sites
