Hi,
Well, here I am writing from my son's new machine. Turned out the
128MB it came with wasn't enough memory to open Open Office so I
bought an additional 256MB. However we're still having problems. He
uses gaim to chat with his friends, but when we start it up there is a
3-4 minute lag before the program will start accept text. I type into
it and it just sits for 3 minutes before it works. Even after it
works it will once in awhile have these 3 minute lags again.
At first I thought it might be the wireless networking having
trouble but the whole time gaim isn't working I can browse the web
just fine.
I've shut off iptables using chkconfig --del.
Any ideas what's causing this? I don't know where to look. There
are no special messages in dmesg.
In /var/log/messages I do see some strangeness:
Jan 4 18:26:04 Christmas dhclient: DHCPDISCOVER on sit0 to
255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 19
Jan 4 18:26:04 Christmas dhclient: send_packet: Network is down

255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 4
Jan 4 18:30:12 Christmas dhclient: DHCPDISCOVER on sit0 to
255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 18
Jan 4 18:30:12 Christmas dhclient: send_packet: Network is down
This sort of stuff is repeating a lot.
thanks in advance,
Mark
