[SOLVED] Slow internet connection on Felicia !

[NYDAz]

Hi everybody !

I've searched and researched the internet for technical details about why my linux mint is terrible slow on internet than windows xp !

I have a main computer connected to internet ! Has Windows XP installed and I've created a network !
This computer has the following IP : 192.168.0.1

Now ...

I have a laptop which runs two OS : LinuxMint and Windows XP

On the 2nd computer when I run Windows XP everything run smoothly, all pages are loading, streaming it's working !

But when I try with LinuxMint some websites are working others don't !

For example on Windows XP kronehit.at it's working ! On LinuxMint don't work (The cursor it's loading over and over and over) !

Some ideas on how to sort this thing out ?!

Thanks and any help is as always appreciated !

Are you using wireless or a wired connection to the Internet? Is the speed OK on other web pages or just that one you mentioned?

kronehit.at runs perfectly for me. Does it appear that sites with flash are the ones loading slowly? If so, try

Code: Select all

apt remove --purge flashplugin-nonfree && apt install adobe-flashplugin

wired connection ... the speed is the same as in windows for some sites but for mostly .. it stucks on load

kronehit.at runs perfectly for me. Does it appear that sites with flash are the ones loading slowly?

youtube loads instantly so I don't think it's a flash bug

Two things that helped me increase browsing speed on various linux distros:

1. Use opendns (opendns.org). Configuration basically boils down to

Code: Select all

   
    $ sudo cp /etc/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf.auto
    $ gksudo gedit /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf
    # append the following line to the document
    prepend domain-name-servers 208.67.222.222,208.67.220.220;
    # save and exit
    $ sudo ifdown eth0 && sudo ifup eth0 

You may be required to change eth0 to your own network device's name if it uses a non-standard name. Sometimes you have to reboot after this. You can see that the changes are in effect by browsing to opendns.org. When they are actice the homepage says 'You are using OpenDNS'.

2. Set browser from system proxy settings to no proxy. For Firefox

Menu > Edit > Preferences > Advanced > (Connection) Settings > choose 'No Proxy'

If this doesn't help can you please post the terminal output of

ping kronehit.at
dig kronehit.at
wget kronehit.at

Cheers

I've tried opendns ! But the problem is this ... the site is not loading slow .... the site is not loading at ALL

2. Set browser from system proxy settings to no proxy. For Firefox

Menu > Edit > Preferences > Advanced > (Connection) Settings > choose 'No Proxy'

This is the way I had it on Firefox ! And it's not working !

If this doesn't help can you please post the terminal output of

ping kronehit.at
dig kronehit.at
wget kronehit.at

ping kronehit.at


dig kronehit.at


wget kronehit.at


I notice that wget is not working ! any suggestions !???

Please try

Code: Select all

$ telnet kronehit.at 80

following this command you should see

Code: Select all

Trying 85.126.166.10...
Connected to kronehit.at.
Escape character is '^]'.

and you will be prompted to the next line

type

Code: Select all

GET

and hit enter. If successful you should see a long listing of the source-html for the landing page of kronehit.at. If not - please post the results.

Thanks for your answers until now moody !

Trying with $ telnet kronehit.at 80

I got what you said

Code: Select all

Trying 85.126.166.10...
Connected to kronehit.at.
Escape character is '^]'.

Then I'm prompted to the next line where I write GET and it stucks there !

[moodywoody]

Meh, this all looks kind of strange. The server let's you connect on port 80 but then doesn't reply to the GET request ... pfff

Ok, I'd like to have another go at some more info. First, could you list about two more websites that do not and two that do work for you?

Second .. can you please install the w3c command line tool? You can get it from here

w3c command line tool

1. Download one of the 2002 tarballs
2. Extract and change into that directory
3. Run (as root) the holy trinity of

Code: Select all

$  ./configure
$  make
$  make install

and then please post the output of both

Code: Select all

w3c -vpsu http://kronehit.at
w3c -head -vpsu http://kronehit.at
