My Internet is so slow :(

[telefonmann]

Hello!
I installed PC-BSD and it looks very nice...but:
My Internet is very slow (and no sound..). Under WinXP and Gentoo Linux it works fine.
Sometimes konqueror post errors like "Unknown host forums.pcbsd.org" or "Timeout.." then I retry and it works, but slow. Download slow too.

resolf.conf:
nameserver 192.168.1.88

cya,
Telefonmann

This will only work if you're running a name server on a local machine with .88 address.

Put you ISP DNS servers here, one to a line.

Put you ISP DNS servers here, one to a line.

What is ISP DNS?
The IP 192.168.1.88 is the IP of my router.

please help!

ISP - Internet Server Provider
DNS - Domain Name Server

In your internet configuration (in the router/modem or whatever) you have to put 2 DNS, primary and secondary, those are 2 IP's (Internet Protocol) and those are the ISP DNS's.


I've just checked and my konqueror is as slow as dead, i cat the resolv.conf and it also shows me my router IP. I don't know if that's the problem but i'll check with ISP dns's and post here the update.

[EDIT]
Yes, now konqueror loads pages fast.

To get your ISP's DNS numbers open konsole, type in

dig <myISP'sName.whatever>

and look at the authority section. Usually it has an 'ns' in its listing.

Here's mine so you know what to look for.

hi!

so..when i boot my PC-BSD with boot-option 2 then it works. i have to disable ACPI, right?!

[dracheflieger]

If that's what it takes, then yes (if #2 is used to disable ACPI...most people here aren't going to reboot just to see ;-) )

Look at this thread, at the bottom for a permanent solution
