The problem isn't with the HTTP proxy code, it's with the IPv6 address that has automatically been chosen for your NIC. The "DAD" mentioned in the debug window is IPv6 Duplicate Address Detection and is used to ensure that no two machines on the same network choose the same IPv6 address. I'm not sure why this is failing on your machine, since it is based on the IEEE EUI-64 address hardcoded into your NIC. I guess, since it's very unlikely you need IPv6, the most sensible thing to do would be to disable IPv6 support. I know this can be achieved in an installed system, but I'm unsure how to do so on an install floppy. Perhaps someone else will jump in and help you out here. ;-) I just thought I'd offer up what information I had.
