Same basic problems with a new .mozilla. I found later that after the
long delay on the Yahoo page I got a dialog box message saying 'File had
no data' whatever that is supposed to mean.

OK, this problem is getting really mysterious, and VERY, VERY
frustrating. It appears that there are major delays going on. However,
they only are happening for maybe certain data types. Also, I'm watching
gkrellm and it looks like there is almost NO network traffic.

For instance, if I go to the net to get email, slots of emails come down
very quickly, but if one of them has an attachment, then the attachment
takes a huge amount of time. (Again, no problem downloading the same
emails on my Windows box. I'm on cable modem, and a 600KB file took
15-20 minutes. When the file arrived it was intact.

If I go to a basic web page, most web pages are fast, but if there is
something a bit more complicated, like the Yahoo page with ads and what
not, then things come very slowly or not at all.

If I try downloading files from a web page, then download manager in
Mozilla goes horribly slow.

Again, this started happening this morning, pretty much after I upgraded
firmware on my Firewall. (LinkSys BEFSR11) The Windows box is having no
problems. 

Unfortunately, this issue seems to also be effecting my ability to do an
emerge -s as I'm getting lots of error messages about problems in
ebuilds having bad syntax.

I'm very frustrated. This message probably sounds that way. Sorry. I
don't mean to whine, but I've never seen anything like this before.

Thanks for your ideas,
Mark
