DNS server problems? Firewall? Traffic filters?
Unless you provide a lot more details, we can only guess. This post has been edited by spoovy: Oct 1 2011, 10:33 PM -------------------- My personal SL6 repository, specialized in audio/video software: http://pkgrepo.linuxtech.net/el6/

hi again I solved this with firefox support page. For future issues:
Firefox supports IPv6 by default, which may cause connection problems on certain systems. To disable IPv6 in Firefox: 1. In the Location bar, type about:config and press EnterReturn. * The about:config "This might void your warranty!" warning page may appear. Click I'll be careful, I promise!, to continue to the about:config page. 2. In the Filter field, type network.dns.disableIPv6 3. In the list of preferences, double-click network.dns.disableIPv6 to change its value from false to true. Thanks... This post has been edited by spoovy: Oct 1 2011, 10:32 PM |

Disabling IPv6 is actually one of the common 'speed up' tweaks out there...
