[ale] Internet Routing is Slow on my Linux-box?

[Marc Ferguson]

Hi folks,

Surfing the net on my Fedora machine is almost like surfing at dial-up
speed. I don't know exacly what the problem is, but I have my suspision.  On
my Windows partition I have no problems loading pages, etc (same on my
wife's machine), but when I boot into Fedora - it's slow and frustrating.
Here's my setup.

* NetGear Wireless-G Router (WGR614V9)
* Motorolla DLS Modem (AT&T)
* Clone machine dual-booting Windows Vista Home Premium and Fedora 10 x86_64
* Dell machine running Windows Vista Home Basic

My guess is it's my router. Before we moved into our new home, the Cable
modem and my router both had the same IP scheme (192.168.1.x). We've moved
into a town house and we have DSL with AT&T. When I did the initial setup,
my modem as the IP Address of 192.168.1.254, but my router has an internet
port of 192.168.1.2, but a lan port as 10.0.0.1. The router is also acting
as a DCHP, so the other computers have a 10.0.0.x scheme.

I found that extremely odd. So; I tried to give the lan port a 192.168.1.x
scheme and it killed everything. I could no longer gain access to the
router. I had to reset it and start over.  I think there's a serious lag
with the router having to convert 10.0.0.x packets to 192.168.0.x packets in
Linux. Can anyone shed some light?  Thanks.
