DSL slow

Hi,

I use a DSL-Hub/router (Zyxel Prestige 600). Since some weeks my
Linux-machine (Suse 9.0, Kernel 2.4.21) which is connected to the router
is very slow while connecting to hosts on the Internet. Upstream and
downstream are ok, but each time a new host is contacted or even a new
www-page on the same host should be downloaded, it takes several seconds
er even minutes until the connection is established. Other computers
which use the DSL router are as fast as ever. Hat can I do?!

What is in your /etc/resolv.conf? I have seen some people incorrectly put
their own IP or 127.0.0.1 as nameservers when they are not even running a
nameserver.

I personally run my own local nameserver (bind9), so I do not have to
constantly fetch names from the internet (since my adsl ISP's DNS was
initially sluggish). I also added forward and reverse zones for my LAN,
so local connections are quicker (no DNS timeouts trying to resolve names
for private IP's).

Everything fine here. I use the same nameservers as the other machines
on my LAN. All the other machines are working well.
