I wait 5 seconds for a web page to load on Linux, but with 2000 it takes around 2 seconds. Every single time! Starting to think its my Netgear NIC cards. Different machines. How can I adjust this? Gong to try R.H. 7.2 next.
Just a guess here, but are you sure your /etc/resolv.conf file is properly configured for your DNS servers? Usually, when I see this problem, its because there is a bad nameserver listed there (usually at the top), so all DNS requests first go to this incorrect server before going to the correct one(s).

RESOLV.CONF(5) File Formats Manual RESOLV.CONF(5)
NAME
resolv.conf - Domain Name System resolver configuration
SYNOPSIS
/etc/resolv.conf
DESCRIPTION
The /etc/resolv.conf is used to configure how the host will use the Domain Name System to resolve hostnames to IP addresses. It may con-
tain these two lines:
nameserver IP-address
domain domain-name
The nameserver entry tells the IP address of the host to use for DNS queries. If it is set to 127.0.0.1 (which is the default) then the
local name daemon is used that may use the /etc/hosts database to translate host names. You normally only need a nameserver entry if the
name server is at the other side of a router. The default nonamed name server can't look beyond the local network.
The domain entry tells the default domain to use for unqualified hostnames. This entry is usually not given in which case the domain of
the local host is used.
The long version of this story can be found in resolver(5).
