Hi,
I am running a dual boot W98 & LM7.2 and KDE 2.0.1. with a Supra Express 56K v90
external modem on a PII-233 with 128 megs RAM. The system also has an internal
Lucent Winmodem. All was well with the system. My ISP changed their server on May 30,
2001. The new system changed their DNS #'s from 208.130.42.5 & 208.130.43.5 to
205.231.144.10 & 205.231.144.20.
Since the change I can still log-in with LM7.2 and my browsers(Opera, Konqueror and
Netscape) are accepted but very slowly. In the KPPP detail screen I get usually one
spike of about 50 packets or so then one packet about every 30 seconds after that. I
cannot get KMail to login at all. If I use either modem with Win 98 the system works
fine.
I have changed every setting I can think of in Linuxconf with no change in system
speed.
It doesn't matter if I use the old or new settings, DNS on of off, etc. I have
removed/replaced my network card (no current network here at home). I have used
Drakconf at least 500 times over the past week. Nothing changes. My ISP has no idea
what the issue is.
Any suggestions? I don't want to go back to Win98.
