I'm fairly new to using Linux full time, so I'm not real sure where your problem is. But, I'd start by eliminating network setup issues, e.g., router, broadband modem, bad Wi-Fi settings, etc. Have you tuned any network parameters on your Linux system? If not, you may need to adjust or add settings to your etc/sysctl.conf file. The sysctl.conf file on my Linux system was missing many settings. Search using Google or Yahoo for: linux tcp_mem rmem_max wmem_default That should pull up articles for adjusting your networking. I had to had a large number of settings, like 25, that were missing, and use *HUGE* values for: rmem_default, rmem_max, wmem_default, wmem_max, tcp_mem, tcp_rmem, tcp_wmem,, etc. These values are much, much larger than the settings on the webpages you'll find. Those values are like for dialup. I forget if they're a multiple of 1024 or 4096 ... Rod Pemberton
