My new adsl ethernet router is TP-Link TD-8840, I don't see any options about connection limits. It seems you're right, it's not just apt-get; Downloading anything big, like the package of virtualbox, using wget or firefox's download manager, results to error if I try to visit a website like www.google.com: "Address Not Found - Firefox can't find the server at www.google.com. - The browser could not find the host server for the provided address." Hence the problem: can't resolve domain names.
This is backed up by the fact that while I was downloading, I tried connecting to an IRC server: 12:22:27 -!- Irssi: Looking up Elsene.Be.Eu.undernet.org 12:22:27 [Freenode] -!- Irssi: Looking up irc.ubuntu.com 12:22:47 -!- Irssi: Unable to connect server Elsene.Be.Eu.undernet.org port 6667 [Name or service not known] 12:22:47 -!- Irssi: Unable to connect server irc.ubuntu.com port 6667 [Name or service not known] 12:22:48 -!- Irssi: Removed reconnection to server Carouge.CH.EU.Undernet.org port 6667 12:22:48 -!- Irssi: Looking up Carouge.CH.EU.Undernet.org 12:23:08 -!- Irssi: Unable to connect server Carouge.CH.EU.Undernet.org port 6667 [Name or service not known] The lag seems normal (4-5 seconds) while the download is in progress. It is uploading that deteriorates the lag or ping reply. You could be right again about a driver problem. According to the network manager, my ethernet is using the r8169 driver. Oh and my ADSL connection is 512k/64k. -- hardy: uploading causes network lag https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/196439 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
