HTH,
Yes, I've attempted command line ftp and http updates as well. REAL
slow to the point of unusable. Tests of data transfer within my LAN
indicate the problem is WAN traffic.
did you read fedorafaq about ipv6
No, went to fedorafaq but could not find anything on ipv6? JonVO
Well, that's very very odd (obviously). Have you disabled ipv6 and attempted to restart the networking to see if that functions for you better? Although everyone has some different experiences with that it would seem, I have ipv6 enabled and haven't had any real issues with slow transfers.
This could be a routing problem maybe. Have you checked the routing on this one particular box and the router you're using? I've had similar issues when I forget to setup the forwarding of a particular box (when I don't forward the whole subnet so on and so forth).
There are many many suggestions on how to turn off ipv6. In short this is what others have done.
Add to /etc/modprobe.conf: alias net-pf-10 off
You may want to also edit the device config file: ifcfg-eth0 to something (suiting your purposes of course) like below:
DEVICE=eth0 BOOTPROTO=DHCP onBOOT=yes DHCP_Hostname = Foo USERCTL=no PEERDNS=yes IPV6INT=no IPADDR=192.168.1.2 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 GATEWAY=192.168.1.1 HWADDR=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
Or maybe you've figured this out already?
HTH
