    Some users get slow internet speeds unless they disable IPV6. Not sure that's the case with your connection, though.

    I generally go ahead and disable it in any Linux distro.

    It's explained in the link that I posted for you above. The article was written for Mandriva 2008.1 but I think it will work the same in your version. You can google disable ipv6 mandriva for other howto articles explaining how to disable ipv6.

    As root, edit /etc/sysconfig/network

    Add this line :

    NETWORKING_IPV6=no

    Save and reboot.

    Check also whether

    ifconfig

    reports any errors in sent/received packets.

    GUI Way:
    Left-click the network icon in the system tray this will open the Network Center, now open Advanced Settings and check Disable IPv6, then click OK and restart the system.
