&nbsp; I am using a very high speed internet connection and a powerful pc. It connects very fast to everywhere with windows Xp on it but with fedora core 3 it slows down. Especially browser is waiting at the &quot;Looking up `somewhere`&quot; status and then connects and works with a high speed. Connection is a lan connection and there is a general big firewall in front of me. Thanks.
