Hi
I am using Ubuntu 10.04(Lucid). My mtnl wireless connection was working pretty smoothly for a long time. Until recently when I had some landline issues. Now the connection seems to be experiencing some problems.
Some observations: - Sites are taking more than expected time to open up - Facebook and Twitter not reachable at all (this might sound funny, but its true)
I am using Firefox 3.6.15
What could be the problem?

If your MTNL guys have altered DNS settings in the modem, you could face problems of sites not opening properly. The general DNS values are 59.185.3.10, 11 and 12.

Actually the connection is working fine on Win7 So, there seems to be some issue with Ubuntu.

are you using DHCP? or have you manually configured the DNS server on your machines?

On Win7 its configured manually with DNS servers as (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) On Ubuntu its DHCP

Thanks for pointing that out. Configured the connection manually on Ubuntu with the same Google public DNS addresses. Its working fine now.

Why are you giving out all your surfing details to Google? If you configure your ADSL wireless modem correctly for DNS then any Distro will work out of the box using DHCP. Since it is a wireless connection it has the possibility of adding more wireless devices on the go and there you will have to set everyone's DNS manually if you don't correct your modem settings.

What exactly is your wireless connections - WiFi?
Some observations:
- Sites are taking more than expected time to open up
- Facebook and Twitter not reachable at all (this might sound funny, but its
true)
Assuming it is related to an integrated WiFi AP/router/DSL modem.
Check the following in the order given:
1. DSL signal connection quality (it should be under the Status page if you are using a DLink or Huwaei modem) 2. Check the downstream/upstream speeds - the modem syncs to the speed setup by MTNL to whatever you have subscribed. It is feasible that has been changed.
BTW, do you get "slow" speed on the "wired" nodes also?
