Re: Problems resolving sites in browsers under KDE
I tried your suggestion and so far so good. I'm still seeing a small amount of dns lookup stacking (IE if one request hasn't completed the others are put on hold till it's done rather than doing parallel lookups) that's stalling a few requests, but otherwise my browsing problem seems to be solved overall. I'd like to figure out how to drop my default dns timeout from 30 seconds to something like 7-10 seconds. Reason I'm thinking that is because my network is fast enough that if I haven't gotten an answer back within 7-10 seconds, I'm certainly not going to get one within 30. Now comes the fun of RTFM and figuring out if that's possible under freebsd. :D At 06:12 AM 5/9/04 -0600, Warren Block wrote: On Sat, 8 May 2004, Dragoncrest wrote: Still looking for answers.

Re: Problems resolving sites in browsers under KDE
Well, so far the Mcop thing doesn't help any. But I think I'll give the IPv6 in the kernel thing a try. I did notice that BSD for some reason seems to look at IPv6 stuff first for some oddball reason. It's still hanging at random times just like yours. Hmm. But at least lynx is working. Too bad I can't see pictures. ;) At 05:04 PM 5/10/04 -0400, E. Eusey wrote: I'm curious to see if you've had any success with the solutions offered so far.

Re: Problems resolving sites in browsers under KDE
I had a similar, but different problem with 4.7 which impacted all network traffic but was most noticible using Konqueror. I was getting similar pauses regardless of the application I ran. Unless you are running BIND and attempting to get at zones that you adminster, I don't think this is a DNS issue. In my case, the problem was a high rate of collision and dropped packets between the NIC and the switch it was connected to. I changed the media information for my network card from 100TX to 10baseT using ifconfig() and that seems to have fixed the problem. You might try this just for the heck of it to see if it helps your situation.

If everything outside of KDE responds normally to tcp/ip requests it's obviously not DNS-related. I vaguely remember having problems opening browsers during the brief period I used KDE until I cleared /tmp and ~/ of their mcop and dcop files, which seemed to fix it. Give that a try.
