Has anyone else had problems like this ? There has been some confusion a while back, I don't remember the details. As for debugging: 1) What do you have in rc.conf? ipv6_enable should be set to "YES" and=20 ipv6_network_interfaces should be "auto" or a list of the interfaces that=20 should use IPv6. 2) rtsol(8) is used to initiate stateless autoconfiguration. You might=20 want to try "rtsol -d interface". 3) Check the net.inet6.ip6.accept_rtadv sysctl. ipv6_enable should take=20 care of this. 4) Check your firewall rules. =2D-=20 /"\ Best regards, | mlaier@freebsd.org \ / Max Laier | ICQ #67774661 X http://pf4freebsd.love2party.net/ | mlaier@EFnet / \ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | Against HTML Mail and News --nextPart1312589.DbOBBIxenK Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBFsvk1XyyEoT62BG0RAum5AJ0a+1Q4v0v6hJHzeKWBpsI/o9PoFwCdG++0 sgUOJCW//dndkT8g58UKFrU= =hodi -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart1312589.DbOBBIxenK--
