From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040803 Firefox/0.9.3 Description of problem: I am having problems with multiple laptops running Fedora Core 2 completely updated. When I use the machine on my work network, everything appears to be functioning fine, but when I bring the laptops home and connect them to my home broadband connection, I can not render web pages and make ssh connections back to my work network successfully. The webpages will only begin to load but will not load completely. When I make ssh connections, after approximately 15-20 seconds, the ssh connections quit responding. When I use WinXP machines on the same home network, everything connects fine. I have disabled IPv6 after reading several other network issues but this has not fixed the problem. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Fedora Core 2 2. Update with latest patches 3. Try to connect to network at work from home network. Actual Results: Unable to maintain reliable network connection to work network. Additional info:
as it seems to work a little bit, I guess that connection settings are correct. Does your Modem or whatever you use redial often?
