If that is what you suspect, try adding an 'lsmod logfile' to its beginning and end. -- Tzafrir Cohen | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | VIM is http://tzafrir.org.il | | a Mutt's [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | best ICQ# 16849755 | | friend = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: IPv6 and B-Focus 312+
Quoting Diego Iastrubni, from the post of Sun, 05 Jun: For some stupid reason, this smart debian box keeps loading ipv6 I edited /etc/modules.conf into: alias net-pf-10 off # IPv6 next time a deb's post-install script runs update-modules, that change is erased. what you should have edited is /etc/modutils/aliases and run update-modules yourself. IMHO that should be enough, but it does not always work and IPv6 is getting loaded (sometimes). Any more ideas? yes, it annoyed me too, and I didn't bother with fancy modules.conf tricks, I went straight to the /lib/modules tree and renamed ipv6.ko of my kernel. I donno what decided to load it and I don't care anymore. What worried me were simply the implications of bind9 and apache2 among others that started listening to tcp6 sockets - my firewall opens only a select list of ports, and I never opened IPv6 packet types. I donno what the implications are, since I never had the need to get into this new protocol in the real world, and therefore I might just as well not load it to the kernel at all. -- Big man on campus Ira Abramov http://ira.abramov.org/email/ = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]

To configure go to Advanced-SNMP and set all defaults, Apply, then Advanced-Access Control-SNMP and tick the 'LAN' box for SNMP, and click Apply. Add your controller's IP and tick Add, then Apply. After that, you can do this: scli -c 'show ip addresses' router or, more exactly: MYIP=`scli -c 'show ip addresses' router|grep ppp0|cut -d' ' -f1` scli is probably the best free cli SNMP interface that exists. Take some time and read the manual page. It is huge. router is the DNS name exposed by the router on the LAN by default. The router runs Linux 2.4.x on a MIPS risc cpu.

Re: IPv6 and B-Focus 312+
I have this router @ my parents place. It is good (till some point.. many features doesn't work there, but that's not the issue). Anyway, I don't use its DHCP and DNS capabilities. I don't need my father calling me at 23:30 telling me has problems just because the modem is doing problems with DHCP/DNS/whatever. The modem is configured to PPTP connect (adsl) to the ISP, and do NAT, that's all. btw, the feature that doesn't work is SNMP. I tried mailing ECI about it, but they just don't reply. seems like many other israelis have this problem, according to some forums i found with google.
