Hi Gene IPv6 is probably not being set up in the way you think. By definition, any ethernet adapter always has a unique "link local" address. This is basically your MAC address dropped into 6 bytes of the IPv6 address. The link local address exists regardless of whether you have anything connected to the ethernet port, since it's assigned by the computer (not a DHCP server or anything external). If you see two or three IPv6 addresses, then the interface is actually getting configured for IPv6. It's likely that the port is (a) bad, (b) disabled in the BIOS or something, or (c) something is wrong with the driver. Then again, it could also be that you didn't have it plugged in during the install, so networking was turned off by default. Try right-clicking the network icon, and enable networking if it's not already enabled. If that's not it, check the BIOS, and if that's not it, it's probably bad. You could check by plugging in the hard disk from the other D525MW system, and see if networking works. - Steve ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service. http://www.accelacomm.com/jaw/sfnl/114/51521223/ _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
