This problem remains in 9.04 desktop. I installed to a desktop machine connected to DSL via a NAT router.
The first effect of the wrong MTU (1500) was an extremely slow installation during the process of scanning for updates. After the install finally completed, Mozilla would appear to connect to sites, even a server on my local network, but not deliver any pages. The odd exception was Google. I could connect to Google and get search results, but not browse any directed pages. This report had the solution I needed -- change the MTU to 1492. (What a difference eight bytes makes.) I'm not familiar with the mechanism the installer uses to set an initial MTU value, but it would be a major improvement to have it install with a working default. The worst part is that the problem is so difficult to diagnose without prior knowledge. This has a major impact on the user experience for a new installation. -- web browsing extremely slow https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/291085 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
