DAD is Duplicate Address Detection. IP6 has a whole slew of addresses that a host may use; the one you're looking at is for the link-layer (MAC) address-derived IP6 address. This is just a message reporting that no other node on the local network appears to be using that address. Just because it's couched in the negative doesn't make it an error message. jan -- jan grant, ILRT, University of Bristol. http://www.ilrt.bris.ac.uk/ Tel +44(0)117 9287163 Fax +44 (0)117 9287112 RFC822 jan.grant@bris.ac.uk Whenever I see a dog salivate I get an insatiable urge to ring a bell.
