I think something happened to my ubuntu machine and now going to websites and/or pinging a website is extremely slow. I am hardwired to my router so it should be pretty fast.
here are the pinging stats:
PING www-real.wa1.b.yahoo.com (69.147.76.15) 56(84) bytes of data.

here is info from my ifconfig

Is there I can do or check to find out why it is so slow??
