After fighting with For 9 months I am exhausted. I had to get the sound card to be recognized, to get the machine to shutoff when I shut it down, etc it has finally almost defeated me. It has worked for 6 months or more but suddenly during a yum update last week the network slowed down to a crawl. I did not update anything for awhile but now to use the web browser to load the web page of the local lan's router takes maybe 5 minutes if it loads at all.
I can ping the router with out problem but yum actions just slow to a halt, going to an external web page is impossible.
The resolv.conf has not changed, neither has the hosts file. Right now I am stumped any other suggestions out there.
Since I am heavy into F7 I am the point of thinking of giving the machine to Goodwill. Any help would be appreciated. -- Aaron Konstam
Aaron,
I may be having a similar experience shutting down FC6 on a Thinkpad. My workaround has been to stop my 3com wireless card (Atheros) and nfs service before doing an init 0. Why? I haven't a clue. can you access. I'm hoping F7 doesn't have this problem.

Thw halting is no longer a problem but the fact that no application can communicate to and from the machine at a tolerable rate is a problem. If you can't load the web page of the router the machine is wired directly to what can you access and it is getting worse.
Perhaps you just need to replace your NIC? I had a similar problem when my USB 2.0 adapter went out on me. Actually, it has happened twice now that I think of it. The machine would run fine, but upon reboot it would not reliably restart. I'd have to try it several times. Finally, I just pulled the card, and now all is well again.

I am beginning to agree with you. But since I have three machines in this room (at home) running Linux and this one is 7 years old I htink instaed of buying a new card I will recycle it through GoodWill.
