It's certainly an IPv6 address - 128 bits, and "::" means 'the longest set of zeroes you can fit in'.
Maybe your macs are using IPv6 natively.  Why is it causing a problem?


ah. i'm unfamiliar with them - this one looked different at first glance than ipv6 examples I've seen in the past.

the issue is that i log/track according to ip. all my db fields are varchar(15) in postgres, to account for ipv4 addresses.

there are too many fields/apps to update, and I only pull the ip address once in each app using a shared library item - so the easiest way to fix things would be to force ipv4 on there.

odd that the mac suddenly started using iipv6 to talk to each other. i didn't even know my router could support it.
