Bug Description

Running Ubuntu 8.10 stand alone on a separate HD.
When I boot XP on the other HD the internet works fine.
It is running wired to an all in one Virgin Broadband home system.
When Ubuntu boots it connects to internet eth0 wired not a problem. Do so straight up on the install.
I can PING addresses fine.
If I try to use firefox it begins to download and stops immediately.
Reviewing the system monitor I get a ramp up and immediate ramp down of network activity. I get 50-80 kb at a time.
Toggling the refresh button drags a bit more in each time so it is working.
E-mail and updates do the same thing. Just can’t get any flow of data to sustain.
I am a novice to Ubuntu so I have not dug too far.
Any suggestions welcomed.

Sorry for the delay in reply. I was sent to China for 2 weeks for work.

Anyhow. Booted up Kubuntu and started web browser and tried to load a page.

Did the same thing it normally does. It starts to download, but you can see in the download speed it falls away to zero in about 10 seconds and then waits with no more information coming in.

Still been trying a few things. I get 10 second windows of downloading from web browser then it just stops. Refresh, gets another 10 seconds and stop again.

Any help appreciated.

I am facing the exact same problem on a fresh install of Ubuntu 9.04 desktop.

The DNS resolution was fixed by adding an OpenDNS server to the nameserver list. It resolves the domain names quickly, but then download just hangs in between.

I've tried downloading using 'wget' and the issue remains the same.

The NetworkManager->Connection Information dialog shows using the driver: sky2

PFA the output of my 'syslog'

Thanks

Anybody have a look at the syslogs yet? Is someone even looking? I was thinking of using Ubuntu on all developer machines in our office. Looks like that's out.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner.
There have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time you reported the bug and your problem may have been fixed with some of the updates. It would help us a lot if you could test the current Ubuntu version (10.10). If you can test it, and it is still an issue, we would appreciate if you could upload updated logs by running apport-collect <bug #>, and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue.
