Hardware and performance

Hi Wilson

> I have no problem accessing my teacher account using Linux at school, and have no problem with Win7 at home, but pages will not load at home using Linux (Ubu 10 and any web browser like FireFox, Chrome, etc). I can read the page source, but the page will load only after I let it load for 30+ minutes.

You stress on the difference accessing your site at school and at home. My first question: Where is the server: in the school LAN or outside somewhere in the internet?

Second thing: You say accessing your site at school works for both Win7 and Linux clients. But mention only Linux at home. Have you tried Win clients at home?

How do these two LANs are conncted to the internet? I mean networking components like routers, fire walls, proxy-servers, VPN, malware protection, etc.

> I use Linux as my primary, so I do not like to boot into Win7 to do things in Moodle at home.

You are talking about the client, right? Then dual-boot should not upset anything.

> Any suggestions as to settings I can change to make my pages load in reasonable time at home?

I fully agree, 30+ min isn't reasonable!


This kind of delay meas that something very big is broken. Like firewall or proxy configuration, overkeen malware protection, wrong CFG-> settings in moodle/config.php. BTW, do you access your site using two different URLs at school and at home?
