You can assign your own addresses, based on the /48 you have been given by your provider or tunnel broker. Something like this.... ifconfig fxp0 inet6 3ffe:dead:beef:cafe::/64 eui64 alias That is only if you want to use auto-configured host addresses based on the (IHMO) wasteful EUI64 junk... topic for another thread (and list, probably!). There are lots of differing opinions about the usefulness of EUI64-based auto-config. --=20 Mike Oliver [see complete headers for contact information] --zhXaljGHf11kAtnf Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFC/QsHsWv7q8X6o8kRAmq6AJwObW7ejLI4V9Va4qTElPyvlVCWNgCfeLTV r6EiFQrn/fk2HLBjQtobDE8= =iXCt -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --zhXaljGHf11kAtnf--
