Long access time for static web page on virtual machine
- by Karol
My setup
Windows 7 on workstation that I use at work (with domain) and home (no domain)
Virtual machine (VMWare) that runs Arch Linux (I will call it just "Linux") with network interface in bridged mode.
Linux serves web pages with Nginx.
IP address of Linux machine is 192.168.0.16 and is added to C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts:
192.168.0.16 bridged bri
IP address of Windows workstation is added to /etc/hosts:
192.168.0.10 workstation
I can add more details to my setup description (I am not sure what is relevant).
The question
Often (but not always) it takes long time for a web browser (Firefox) to open static web page served by Linux. I am sure it is not a performance issue.
To be more specific: it takes about ~20 seconds to resolve(?) the address http://bridged
for a web browser.
Additionally I have just installed samba service and noticed similar problem, so it is not specific to browser & http. Initial access for samba shares also takes long time.
