Slow Internet connection for Fedora 4

[Ole Robert Hestvik]

     Fedora 4 has just been installed. Everything is fine, but the 
network connection is very slow:

[root at localhost log]# ping vg.no
PING vg.no (193.69.165.21) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from vg.no (193.69.165.21): icmp_seq=0 ttl=246 time=3526 ms

...

      Network Configuration->Activate gives the following messages:

...

100Mbps, full-duplex

     What could be wrong here?
     Perhaps there is something wrong with the routing tables:

Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use 
Iface
10.0.0.0        0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 eth0
