Awfully slow web browsing

[casial]

Hi, I have problem with my internet connection, though it is not the problem of the connection itself. I have a 100Mbit internet, which runs fine and web browsing is terribly fast under WinXP (sic!) but under the same mozilla in Gentoo it takes very long (10 sec approx.) to load a single page! Even if the page should be cached somewhere already (not using squid, though) . Most of the time when the page is blank it states "resolving host domain.bla". Is it a DNS problem? But why, it works just fine under the damned Win! And another strange thing, wget is awfully fast, too... (Thinkink of it again, it takes its time to resolve, too, but then it works just fine). So, what should I do?

Thanx

Maybe WIndows is caching DNS results, check out /etc/resolv.conf and then maybe try dnsmasq.

You should also try and ping and traceroute your dns servers.

Try using Name Service Caching Daemon

Well, thank you, using the nscd really improved the performance a lot! Though it still not as fast as win, it is much much better now.
