Actually, it seems IPv6 support has been builtin in Debian kernels since June last year. Shows how much I use it. :-) Apparently, the proper way to disable IPv6 is to append ipv6.disable=1 to your kernel line in grub. If you're using grub legacy, go to /boot/grub/menu.lst and add "ipv6.disable=1" to the line saying: # defoptions= (Leave it commented, and if it already has something, just add a space at the end, then the ipv6.disable=1 bit). If you're using grub2, go to /etc/default/grub and add it to the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="root=/dev/somethin" line, add a space then ipv6.disable=1. -- George-Cristian Bîrzan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
