Topic: Http very slow?

[Nic]

Not sure if its just my system or some configuration option. But when i try to do anything to do with http it takes a long time. Any ideas?

Would you be more specific. Does this happen when making changes in the e-smith manager or when cruising the web?

Just when using the manager and other http things on the lan accessing internet http sites is fine.

making any changes through the manager is "slow". I think I read that specific behavior is being addressed for future changes. Are you running e-smith 4.1? If so there is an upgrade that was made available yesterday. I do not know if the slow manager behavior will be fixed or not. I don't think anything is wrong with your system. Of course more horse power couldn't hurt. I mean Cpu speed is not all that will enhance performance. Ram, system bus speed and of course disk access speed. I have my e-smith installed on a P120, 64M ram and 9.1Gig SCSI Ultra 160 Hd. My lan is 10 Mega bit. I also experience the slow manager changes, other than that I am very happy. Have you installled the Internet Jukebox? One of the really fun items abuot e-smith.  I use my Jukebox on my Lan more than my stereo.

I figured out the problem was it was trying to access www.domain in winamp.. when that didnt resolve to anything.. so i just added www.domain to my windows hosts file so i could play it. Got another prob with text on buttons now showing up.. any idea how to fix it ?
