Hi,
I'm using Suse 9.3 (kernel 2.6.11.4-20a-default), but
I'm not sure if IPv6 is enabled.
The following lines in /etc/hosts might be relevant to
IPv6:
# special IPv6 addresses
::1 localhost ipv6-localhost ipv6-loopback
fe00::0 ipv6-localnet
ff00::0 ipv6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ipv6-allnodes
ff02::2 ipv6-allrouters
ff02::3 ipv6-allhosts
127.0.0.2 linux.site linux
Could it be that my ISP's DNS server doesn't have IPv6
information?
Thanks,
Vlad
