Fedora 11 Slow Internet Access/DNS Lookup

Sun, 06/14/2009 - 23:53 — sham

I just wiped Ubuntu and installed the new Fedora 11 on my Toshiba laptop. More on Fedora 11 later but one thing I noticed straight away was the ridiculously slow internet. It seemed to be slow on the 'Looking up' website part of loading a page. A quick google brought this forum entry: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=221969

The solution? Go to about:config in your address bar. Filter for ipv6 and enable network.dns.disableIPv6 (set it to true).

Much better!
