takes looong time to PING

[arnuld.zero]

hi all,

this is my 2nd day with Arch. i have trouble accessing internet with it. 70-80% of the times it takes a looooong time to open web-sites. other 20-30% times it works ok. i tried to PING:

ping 216.239.63.83
ping google.com

in both cases it takes a loooong time to ping. sometimes it failed to ping with "100% packet loss". i tried NetBSD & there is no problem there, i had the same problem on other Linux distros like Fedora, Debian & BLAG where i always need to add these lines to "/etc/modprobe.conf":

alias net-pf-10 off
alias ipv6 off

i also tried adding this on "Arch" but it does not work. here are the "relevant" parts of some system files. BTW, i have used "hwd -u", if that matters:

---------- "/etc/hosts"---------------
#<ip-address> <hostname.domain.org> <hostname>
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.0.2 arch.localdomain arch
# End of file

---------"/etc/rc.conf"--------------

HOSTNAME="arch"

lo="lo 127.0.0.1"
eth0="eth0 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255"
INTERFACES=(lo eth0)
gateway="default gw 192.168.0.1"
ROUTES=(gateway)

----------"/etc/resolv.conf" ------------

nameserver 218.248.255.145
nameserver 61.1.96.69
-----------------------------------------


any idea where the problem is?

Given the symptoms, I wonder if your NIC just does not get along with Arch Linux.

Take a look at the output of

# ifconfig

See any errors showing up for that interface next to 'RX packets' and 'TX packets'?
