yesterday... i installed ubuntu 5.04 on my machine..
why my internet connection too slow ?
plz help me to solve this problem..

Slow?
Check what speed it is connected.

Simply ping a site, see if there's any packet lost.

the webpage load too slow....

i do ifconfig and i see this line ..

RX packets:574 errors:190 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:337

what this means? or does not related to this problem..

did it happen only to certain website or to all websites u try to access? hows ur streamyx connection? (if u use streamyx). if possible try provide details information so others can help u

all website...
i`m using streamyx..

my ubuntu working fine..
on P2 350mhz summore...
but im on office network....
maybe its the stramyx/network config

does on windows oso slow?

before this.. i`m using fedora core 3
and the internet connection is fine..

RX packets:574 errors:190 - what this mean??

That's a load of error dude.
Normal connections won't have this many errors..

I believe there's nothing wrong with your ubuntu.
Because on my default installation of Ubuntu, it's fast, downloading at around 100k for 1Mbps connection.
Why not try shutting off the modem and power it on again.

The packets sent but it didn't received response and reported as errors but not packets were dropped.

Do a traceroute fm command line and post the capture the reports. ?

#traceroute www.google.com.my

what's your connection MTU like?

If you're using a router modem, try NOT to set your Router as DNS server because it could take very long time in "Resolving host" thingy

I'm having the same problem, but mine is ubuntu 4. Just got an external modem so manage to surf the web on linux for the first time. But the connection is slow. I try to test using testmy.net . Windows speed 20kbps, Ubuntu only 7kbps. I'm using dail up Haven't do much changes so I think most of my configuration is still default.

I will try ifconfig and traceroute command maybe tonight. Can someone explain what the command actually means?

Thanks.

try 'man ifconfig' or 'info ifconfig'. same goes to traceroute

Omg mine is worst.

root@ubuntu:/home/romie # traceroute www.google.com.my
bash: traceroute: command not found

Any great ideas that I can try?

huh?
how about /usr/sbin/traceroute?

it's inside sbin folder.

cheers!

This mean the traceroute prgram was not installed.

apt-get install traceroute #install the traceroute package by root

[slight off topic]
guys.. since this thread is bout network settings..
is there a way for me to disable ipv6?

scared it will cause the router to work more (to convert ip)..

#lsmod

Does the above command show IPV6 listed?

If yes, then do the following

Created a /etc/modprobe.conf file with the following lines:
alias net-pf-10 off
alias ipv6 off

Reboot the system to check lsmod again make sure IPV6 not shown.

Ok I've found a network tools that allow me to traceroute and ping, I suppose it give the same answer as traceroute command in the terminal screen. Found it at

applications > system tools > network tools

My results are:

Anybody can explain what it means. Based on testmy.net my speed using ubuntu is still at 7Kbs compared to using windows at 20Kbs.

Also what are comparable windows command of traceroute?

Thanks.
