@Ricardo Fernández As I mention above, in my case, after disabling IPV6, I still had the same symptoms. Terribly long delays making any kind of network connections (all wired). I noticed here that it seemed to be related to making more than one network connection at a time.
Based on forum posts elsewhere, I upgraded the firmware on my D-Link 707 switch/firewall and then suddenly all network problems disappeared.
Of course, CentOS, WinXP, Win2K and Ubuntu 8.04 never had a problem with the router, so I'm not sure why this fixed the issue.
But unfortunately, I've wasted too much time on Ubuntu 9.10 problems. It's been by far the buggiest least reliable error prone distribution I've ever come across (been developing software using Linux professionally since early 1993). This is also the very first time I've been unable to find good information on how work around issues that come up despite having put in some serious effort. (Sound, anyone?) It's open source after all and I've offered to help track these issues down, but got no useful response.
So I've bailed. I'm running Fedora Core 12 now. Everything works as it should.
