Re: [orca-list] OT, slow IP connection

["William F. Acker WB2FLW +1-303-722-7209" <wacker octothorp org>]

If this has anything to do with IPv6, it's likely that your router is 
trying to act as a DNS proxy and doing a bad job of it.  If that's the 
case, first, see if the manufacturer of the device has released updated 
firmware.  If they haven't, and if there's a dumpster behind your 
building, give it a contribution.  Once you have a real router, which 
should solve your problem right away, you might consider getting an IPv6 
connection anyway.  You can go to http://tunnelbroker.net/.  However, you 
will want to use something like edbrowse to sign up.  Please don't use 
ff3.  Message to follow.

          HTH.
