[-- Attachment #1 --] Hello. I have an Athlon 650@715 w/ 128MB of ram. It's fast. Things are generally fast. However I'm having a few problems. First let me say, I had this hard drive in a Celeron 333. I then moved it to the Athlon, and upgraded(via cvsup) from 4.0-current to 4.1-stable. The make world was fine. No problems, other than softupdates(where did it go?!?). Ok anyway, now these are the problems. I'm using XFree86 4.0 w/ a GeForce256. I installed the binaries. Everything is fine, however, netscape takes FOREVER(read: 2 to 3 minutes) to load. So does Licq. Also, in the console, BitchX takes a long time to load. After about 1 or 2 minutes, it finally loads. Problem #2 has to do with my NIC. I've got 2 NIC's of different brands. They do, however, use the same device in the kernel, dc0. One of them is the Linksys LNE100TX, and the other is some CNET card.(macronix i think). The CNET card works perfectly. The Linksys is connected to my DSL. I have a problem downloading files. It will download part of the file, then stop. For example, I was downloading cvsup from ftp.freesoftware.com. It STOPPED at 480k. It goes about 20-60k/sec, then stops. It does this using "ftp" or netscape. It also did it with BitchX(but i'm not sure if it stopped at 480k). When I tried to cvsup, it would go for a while, then stop. I then connected my DSL to my CNET card, and everything worked fine. I'd really like to know what's going on though, because I moved my DSL back to the Linksys. Thanks in advance for any help.
