Re: Slow connections - DNS problems?

retrying the first. Also, repeated calls to the same URL will normally get their IP address information from the client's cache, further confusing attempts at troubleshooting. It is usually possible to override a poor choice coming from a DHCP server, client computers have a DHCP client which can be configured to either accept or refuse the values provided by the server. I'm not sure how Network Manager deals with this, as I only use it on my mobile computers, and not on my main network machines. Besides, I control the DNS and DHCP servers in my network, and they do as they are told, something that an ISP-supplied router usually doesn't. To be fair, the ISP is only trying to cut down on finger-trouble service calls. -- Joe

best method is a new free mailbox, with collection piped through the anti-spam software of your choice. But I tried spamassassin some years ago, and decided I couldn't spare the time that staying ahead in the arms race was costing me. Maybe the maintainers have made better algorithms since then. -- Joe
