Slow Internet Solved I think

[Blues_rider]

A while ago I posted about the Internet being slow on a buddies computer. I think it is fixed or at least better. Did some searching and tried doing this,
Checked in Iceweasel to make sure ipv6 was disabled then added this line to /etc/sysctl.conf
net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 1"

The computer now is very fast on the Internet.

Once we did that I messed around with a song that was recorded live a few weeks ago. I am going to be posting it shortly in the made with AV forum under the heading Out of Retirement, I’m hooked again , It’s a DISEASE.

Hi

Thanks for the comments. This will be disabled by default in the next release.

The

Code:

net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 1

in /etc/sysctl.conf
didn't help here (5.0.3)
but setting

Code:

alias net-pf-10 off
alias ipv6 off

in /etc/modprobe.d/aliases.conf
resulted in a notable net speed increase.

Adding

in /etc/sysctl.conf

resulted in an unknown key error during boot.

Code:

alias net-pf-10 off

resulted in a notable net speed increase on my machine.

The reason why your kernel parameter settings are not working and cause an error during boot about unknown key is that ipv6 module is not yet loaded. To get it loaded before these keys are set, do as root:

Code:

echo "ipv6" >> /etc/modules

The kernel parameters can be set to /etc/sysctl.conf or alternatively create a file into /etc/sysctl.d/disableipv6.conf and add the key there, for example:

Code:

echo "net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1" > /etc/sysctl.d/disableipv6.conf

To see if it worked:

Code:

sysctl -a |grep disable_ipv6
