Thread: Complete cutout of networking using Verizon FIOS, only with Linux

i'm having significant problems ubuntu partition @ moment. haven't booted @ least 6 months, , decided boot variety of reasons.

unfortunately, network going slowly. running internet speed test shows average speed of 5mbps down, whereas on windows speed around 40mbps down. additionally, had period network cut out entirely.

assumed latter part connected me looking hostname during google search, tried changing dns servers 8.8.8.8 , 8.8.4.4 (google). helped rid of verizon's dns adverts, didn't solve underlying problem.

pulling out wireshark, turns out networking flat out cuts out @ points. started pinging website (thedailywtf.com), , wireshark shows dns resolving (looks right), , couple other bits happening send icmp query , response, after few seconds just.... stops. nothing happens. see icmp requests go out absolutely no other networking, not background networking such router asking tree info.

i'm pretty stumped on here. doesn't happen whatsoever while booted windows. additionally, don't remember happening last time used linux (6 odd months ago) desktop, , had fios same router.

it's possible issue router, don't know begin here.

i've burnt live cd of 10.04, on off chance related 11, still occurs 10.04 live cd.

found thread seems describe problem ( http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p...highlight=fios ), seems closed. changing dns servers fixed him, although have no idea why, since networking cutting out when making connections ips directly.

i'm hosting wireshark capture @ http://volmari.as/temp/fioswtf.capture, in case wants take look.

if helps, router actiontec mi424wr, stock.

have tried turning off , on again?
