This is probably an ipv6 issue. You can test this out by disabling ipv6
in KDE by adding the following line to your KDE startup script (which on
this system is /opt/kde/bin/startkde):
export KDE_NO_IPV6=1
If you wish to disable ipv6 systemwide then add the following to
/etc/modprobe.conf (If using a 2.6.x kernel):
alias net-pf-10 off
