delay in internet

Post by Sandra_S »

Hi,

I am new in linux, i have linux mint 15, and since i changed from net operator i have now cable conection.

And when i boot my pc, the network manager recognizes the connection, but it takes +/- 15 minutes before i can go to the web.

i've tried severel things, i know what my gateway is (192.168.1.254) and i can ping the gateway, but i can't ping google for example.
Only after those 15 minutes i can "go out to the ewb" :?


can you help me ?

thank you

Can you ping 8.8.8.8 after making your connection? If you can, but you cannot ping by name (eg google.com), then you may have a lag being created by your DNS server. There is a way to modify the DNS server if you find that 8.8.8.8 pings immediately.

BTW: You say your gateway is 192.168.1.254. This is perhaps so, but most often a lan gateway would be located at something like 192.168.1.1 Just to be sure, double check this setting.

Hello,

Thank you for your help.

My gateway is indeed 192.168.1.254 (Thomson) i've alreadu checked with me net provider.
Before I had gateway 192.168.1.1 (i changed net provider last month, until then i had no problems with mu wifi connection).

Ehen i turned on my pc i tried to ping www.google.com and said unknow host.

Then i tried to ping 8.8.8.8 and the terminal hang on for some minutes. When i finally got access to net, the ping started writing.

This is what i got:

sandra@sandra-PCL ~ $ ping 192.168.1.254

It does not seem to be related to your computer setup. Your networking was working with the previous provider. I would look for the trouble with the new net provider.

Good point, and yes, anyone with other ideas feel free to jump in.

Meanwhile, when you boot from your live cd, is the connection immediate?

Re: delay in internet

Post by wavespot »

Something wrong here : you've got 2 interfaces UP with IP in the same network : eth0 and wlan0 has respectively 192.168.1.66 and 192.168.1.76.

Did you let your cable plugged while using wifi ?

Re: delay in internet

Post by Sandra_S »

Hello wavespot:

wlan1, don't have wlan0, i don't know if makes difference.

Whwn i said i tried to connect with wifi only, i disconnected the cable, but it didn't got net acesss as usual, and so i rebooted and connected the cable again.

I usually have both connected, as i write this moment the ip's are the same.

And in network manager , when i right click the icon in connection information, both connections apear, "Auto Ethernet(default)" and "M_WIFI".

Than you

EDIT: My wireless is "internal" and has a little antena, to disconnect it i have to open the pc.

Sorry for the bad English :oops:

Hi Sandra_S

That's the main reason everything is slow. You just created a loop between your 2 interfaces and your ISP box. It can't works that way. You must disable one of your interface depending on which one you want to use.
Sandra_S wrote:And in network manager , when i right click the icon in connection information, both connections apear, "Auto Ethernet(default)" and "M_WIFI".
So, disable one of them from here, or unplugged the cable, or use the wifi on/off button on your laptop (if you have one of course), and then, let's review the configuration :

1/ ifconfig -a
2/ route
3/ cat /etc/resolv.conf
4/ cat /etc/hosts

Hi,

sorry for the time i took to answer, haven't been around the pc.

here is what i did this morning.

my pc is a desktod, so i can't turn off the wifi, so i did it by software, netwok manager, disable wifi and rebooted.

it took even more time to get net acess and here are the result of the commands you asked.

Hi,

Sorry for the delay, I was on vacation.

Is your /etc/hosts file empty ? It definitely shouldn't, that's where you localhost address is defined, dnsmasq and other services are using this one (see resolv.conf)

It should be like this : (replace <your-hostname> by .. guess what.. your hostname)

127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 <your-hostname>

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters

You need to edit /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf file and reboot computer after that.

Code: Select all

gksudo pluma /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf 
### you can use your favorite editor of course (gedit, nano, kate, etc.)
The contents

Code: Select all

That's fine. You have now a DNS pointing to your box, but it's harmless. And with that configuration, it's always slow ?
