I see from documentation that there are ways to summon it via /etc/network/interfaces, but I have not created any tunnels. As you see from my ifconfig, the global and link-address both show up. It's only when running ipv6calc and other tools that I get the shorter number. http://www.wlug.org.nz/6to4 points me to how to deal with this. However, it still appears to be pebcak, and it may be as simple as not defining the IPv6 address in /etc/network/interfaces as I am now reading. Now to determine the gateway, and we should be good to go. Without this definition, a 6to4 conversion is attempted. > > Antonio Querubin > 808-545-5282 x3003 > e-mail/xmpp: t...@lava.net > _______________________________________________ > LUAU@lists.freesoftwarehawaii.org mailing list > > http://lists.freesoftwarehawaii.org/listinfo.cgi/luau-freesoftwarehawaii.org > _______________________________________________ LUAU@lists.freesoftwarehawaii.org mailing list http://lists.freesoftwarehawaii.org/listinfo.cgi/luau-freesoftwarehawaii.org
