Comment 57 for bug 313218

I'm wondering if I'm having a similar issue. I'm having slow internet access when I set a static IP. If I use DHCP it works great. I have this Ubuntu 8.04 Server directly connected to a comcast router. It has 5 static IPs. I use these all the time so I just set the static ip in /etc/network/interfaces and it normally works. I get 1.5mb down. Right now if I set the static IP I get about 300k down. Then if I change my interfaces file to iface eth0 inet dhcp and reload networking I get my 1.5mb down. I have IPV6 disabled. I use the same DNS with each test. If I plug my laptop running windows directly into the router I can get 1.5mb down with DHCP or static so I don't think it is a ISP hardware problem. Maybe this is a new bug? Any thoughts? Thanks.
