I checked my settings and I got the laptop to access the internet.

The processor is a PII 333 64MB RAM 384MB swap space - it seems to run very very slow when surfing the net.  The RAM is alway running at 75% the CPU is running at 50% and swap is running at 10%.

Is this to be expected or can I streamline the system to gain more speed?

Thanks,

Crazy Grasshopper

I'm guessing you're using firefox?
That's probably the reason for your resources being eaten up.

Yes I am using Firefox!  Is there another browser that I can use that would be better?

Thanks,

Dillo is also included in DSL.  Very light-weight.

There's also glinks, opera, and some text-based browsers.

Hi if its any help i have a xircom 10/100 not sure which driver though and ven when the router is set to dhcp it doesnt work. to get around this i just manually set ((static)) the IP, Netmast, broadcast and dns to ones similar to what dhcp would give me. ie if router is 192.168.2.1 then set your ip to 192.168.2.2 netmask to 255.255.255.0 broadcast to 192.168.0.255 and dns to 192.168.0.1. this worked for me through netcardconfig
