Bug#535833: general: Slow internet on iceweasel, epiphany and so on...

[zac <zak974@hotmail.com>]

Package: general
Severity: important


The internet connection is very slow when using
the internet navigator on Debian 5.0.
This problem doesn't appear on another computer 
of my network under ubuntu whereas the DNS used 
is the same for all computers.

I fixed this problem: after typing 'about:config' 
in the adress bar of iceweasel, I modified the 
key 'network.dns.disableIPv6' to 'true'.

This operation works for iceweasel and for epiphany 
too.

I don't know if other applications are affected
by this problem (synaptic may be affected).
