socal swimmer Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 what is your hardware? hardware is critical. can you post the exact commands you enter in, and what exactly you are trying to do? are you copying a kext into another kext? or both into the extensions folder? are you doing this from teh dvd or from leopard?

solarseed Posted December 14, 2007 Author Share Posted December 14, 2007 i have an asrock 775i65g mother board with onboard realtek 8139 ethernet controller i tried to do what he pcgenrtl8139.kext info file said in its install readme. but it doesnt seem to work .. i dont have the ionetworkfamily.kext 1.5.1 i have 1.6.0 that came with the leopard install. when i downloaded the 1.5.1 and copied it into extensions folder it told me that it was not installed properly and to reinstall. i couldnt fix it and i reinstalled leopard (yikes it sucked doing it over) now i just have the slow internet which is better than no internet. but i would love to have my full speeds back it took me 25 min to download firefox i hope this is enough info? if you need more hardware specs let me know thanks again for looking into my question Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/76131-sloww-internet/#findComment-537631 Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazyJAT Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 In DNS server put 4.2.2.2 that should make it faster Don't be a douche. I also have a 8101L chipset and found a fix. The chipset is basically an RTL8139.
