From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8a2) Gecko/20040525 Firefox/0.8 Description of problem: if you don't disable ipv6 from network-family 10, the name resolution lookups induce a 20-30 seconds delay (with most routers, both sbc static and dynamic configurations) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: following steps are trivial: 1. install fc2 2. configure network (make sure you have a dhcp enabled router) 3. instantiate your preferred browser (mozilla family). 4. go to a web-site you've never gone before... register the status bar delay message (resolving blah blah blah) Actual Results: status bar delay message (resolving blah blah blah) Expected Results: should have fast name resolution lookups Additional info: if you disable network family protocol 10 (defaulted to ipv6) everything is cool (like it used to be in red hat 1..9)
I'm pretty sure this is already know and is not a redhat-config-network bug. A work around is available as root: echo "alias ipv6 off" >> /etc/modules.conf However this will completely disable ipv6 if you use it.
right, it's kinda gross to completely disable ipv6... why not going like: { as root: echo "alias net-pf-10 off" >> /etc/modules.conf } this should disble only the 10th network protocol family! (this solves the problem once and 4all) - it would be nice if you shipp it that way...
refine the workaround and shipp it...
That didn't work for me. Putting: alias net-pf-10 off at the end of modprobe.conf did. Now it's like lightning!
