on 3 machines - works fine.

on one - doesn't

tcpdump -i em0 -n ip6 shows nothing transmitted

ifconfig em0 shows
em0: flags=88843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST,STATICARP> mtu 
1500
         options=4b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,POLLING>

         status: active


in rc.conf
rtadvd_enable="YES"
rtadvd_interfaces="em0"



when rtadvd is started, stopped or sometimes in between there are such 
things in log:
rtadvd[68450]: <ra_output> sendmsg on em0: Network is down



where's a problem?

thanks.


PS. no - firewall doesn't block it, i checked and tried with ipfw turned 
off too.
