Slow webpage loading (using dsl connection)

Hi, I've been having some huge slowdowns upon browsing the web (just loading google takes some time, sites does not load at normal speed, browsing is not that usable 100%). I've confirmed this that it only occurs on Arch because when I try browsing on my XP the above problems doesn't occur at all...I'm not using a networkmanager atm, I just do a

#dhcpcd "interface"

.  Could this problem ISP related? hmm I have no idea why this is happening...Also, downloading packages via powerpill or pacman shows correct dl speeds...I'm using kdemod 4.2 and tested my browsing on both my netbook and desktop with browser's Firefox,Opera,Konqueror...:( I will supply more info if it will be needed...


Thanks in advance

Re: Slow webpage loading (using dsl connection)

I'm not sure exactly what you mean by dhcpcd "interface", but the correct way to do DHCP in Arch is in the file /etc/rc.conf  You only need to edit a couple of lines and then DHCP should be working on boot.  By default, there is a line that reads:
eth0="eth0 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255"
You need to edit this line so it reads:
eth0="dhcp" # eth0 is whatever interface you are using
INTERFACES=(eth0) # again, replace eth0 with the interface you are using

and

ROUTES=(gateway)
should be
ROUTES=(!gateway)

The default settings tell the network manager to use a static IP as well as a static gateway, which is not what you want if you are getting DHCP from your router.

Hope this helps.

Does this happen just recently or long time ago? I remember you reinstall Arch. Have u place your hostname in /etc/hosts?

This happens at random moments, just like now browsing is ok...I just don't know if this is the cause of my ISP...Yup, I have already placed my hostname on the /etc/hosts...This problem of mine only happens here at my house when I'm using this connection...:(
