I have tried the following in rc.conf :- ipv6_enable=3D"YES" ipv6_gateway_enable=3D"YES" ifconfig_em0_ipv6=3D"RTADV" (the last one I haven't seen before but it didn't seem to have an effect = anyway) ifconfig shows.. em0: flags=3D8843 metric 0 mtu = 1500 = options=3D219b ether 00:25:90:32:09:1e inet6 fe80::225:90ff:fe32:91e%em0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2=20 inet 203.31.81.43 netmask 0xffffffc0 broadcast 203.31.81.63 nd6 options=3D21 media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX ) status: active I see rtadv packets on the network :- 12:50:46.444380 IP6 fe80::204:61ff:fe79:276f > ff02::1: ICMP6, router = advertisement, length 56 Other hosts can obtain a prefix just fine. This is the only 9.0 one, I = have other FreeBSD boxes but they are 8.x ish. -- Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum GPG Fingerprint - 5596 B766 97C0 0E94 4347 295E E593 DC20 7B3F CE8C
