The problem exists on two F-19 computers and several Apple computers on the LAN, in fact I often become aware of the problem when someone complains that the internet connection is down. I can always restore normal operation by re-starting the Viasat modem, a process that takes several minutes and is an annoyance. I have determined that I can enter a numeric address e.g. 199.106.52.212 for viasat.com and that works as expected. At the request of viasat tech support I tried taking the router out of the circuit and connecting directly to the modem, that effected no change. Curiously, at the time this this morning when the problem was manifest tech support's computer was down which left me wondering if there was a correlation with my apparent DNS problem. I was asked to call back in a few hours, I did that. The tech support person seemed to take offense at my claiming there was a DNS problem and went on to explain that I probably have a dhcp problem and we need to start by re-setting my NIC. From there on the conversation began to deteriorate and she accused me of shouting at her, I was able to extricate myself gracefully after that and agree that I would call back when I had more time to devote to troubleshooting. Am I missing some point here? Is there some connection between dhcp and dns that I am not aware of. My dhcp server is in the router and deals with about thirty addresses on the LAN and works faultlessly as far as I can see. Any thoughts appreciated, Bob DHCP is used to distribute DNS resolvers to your LAN. What resolvers do you get via DHCP?

Re: Disabling ipv6
On Thu, Jul 11, 2013 at 02:20:37PM -0500, Richard Sewill wrote: I turned on IPv6 in my router. I am still getting 6to4 Tunnel from my ISP. Netflix is currently streaming so my network is not idle. I tried ping and ping6 anyway. This is NOT on an idle network. There remains a performance penalty when using IPv6. As another pointed out, this is because of the path the packet is routed. I trust Linux when I turn on IPv6. I can turn off most services and have the firewall on. I don't know if I trust the Apple Mac or Windows when I turn on IPv6. Given the ISP is handing out 6to4 tunneling, I still think the ISP support is sort of not there. My router has some IPv6 stuff in it. It has enough to turn on and use IPv6. My router is missing reporting stuff I would expect to find for IPv6. My router has a screen that reports attached devices and reports IPv4 stuff, not IPv6 stuff. I would say my router still needs some stuff to be IPv6 friendly. I apologize for my earlier top postings. I use gmail and it likes to top post. I am guessing, please correct me if I am wrong, IPv4 will be used in preference to IPv6, when both are available. I am curious. Is there any recommended equivalent of speedtest.net for IPv6? I have mixed feelings about disabling IPv6 or leaving IPv6 enabled. Each person must make this decision, on their own. See RFC3484 [0], page 11, section Destination Address Selection. Rule 7: Prefer native transport. If DA is reached via an encapsulating transition mechanism (e.g., IPv6 in IPv4) and DB is not, then prefer DB. Similarly, if DB is reached via encapsulation and DA is not, then prefer DA. Discussion: 6-over-4 [15], ISATAP [16], and configured tunnels [17] are examples of encapsulating transition mechanisms for which the destination address does not have a specific prefix and hence can not be assigned a lower precedence in the policy table. An implementation MAY generalize this rule by using a concept of interface preference, and giving virtual interfaces (like the IPv6-in-IPv4 encapsulating interfaces) a lower preference than native interfaces (like ethernet interfaces). In your case, getaddrinfo rules apply, IPv4 will be preferred over a 6to4 connection.

Re: Firewalld - list tables?

I'm currently running F17 on a PC with an F18 virtual machine, and have been trying to understand firewalld prior to upgrading to Fedora 19. The PC has a modified iptables. So I have been trying to see how to incorporate the changes into the new firewalld. I suspect I will need to use the 'firewall-cmd --direct' option to add the iptables rules (as I see no other way of specifying on the rules source/destination addresses using 'firewall-cmd'). However, 'firewall-cmd' offers both the '--get-chains' and '--get-rules' options, but these both require specifying which table is to be used. How do I know what the tables are? There is no '--get-tables' option. I can run 'cat /proc/net/ip_tables_names' and this lists the standard iptables tables (nat ,mangle, filter). But if I use these names with 'firweall-cmd' all I get is a blank line displayed. E.g. firewall-cmd --direct --get-chains ipv4 nat The same occurs with all the table names. So, my question is this, is 'firewall-cmd' working correctly and simply stating that none of the tables have any chains (and so no rules)? Secondly, how do I find out what tables are defined for firewalld?

[OT] Folders under INBOX (re: g)
also, good luck with subfolders under inbox. What exactly is the problem? I have quite a lot of folders under INBOX (using Thunderbird). Sieve sorts my mailing lists subscriptions under INBOX/ML/$mailinglistname, and Thunderbird picks them up fine once you subscribe (IMAP terminology) to the folder and check the folder property checkbox - When getting new messages for this account, always check this folder. Only time I've had issues is with MUAs on mobile devices, Android's Email app and K9 are both broken in this aspect. -- staticsafe O ascii ribbon campaign - stop html mail - www.asciiribbon.org Please don't top post - http://goo.gl/YrmAb -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

What exactly is the problem? there is a known quirk with mozilla's thunderbird email client involving an email account's Inbox that has sub-folders. due to high email traffic that goes thru Inbox, there is a possibility of the Inbox _email_file_ becoming corrupt. OK, now I'm worried. the cause of this happening can be for various reasons. the main cause, i believe, is from auto compact being enabled and new emails arriving when thunderbird is trying to do maintenance on file for emails that have been moved elsewhere by filter action. I don't think I enabled auto-compact manually, I don't know if its enabled by default, time to find out I guess. another problem that can happen and mozilla does recognize it, if you keep a lot of old emails in Inbox, there is a possibility of file becoming corrupt. mozilla recommends that Inbox be maintained with as few emails as possible. i recommend to _keep_it_cleaned_-_period_. This one I got covered, I maintain an inbox zero policy with all my accounts, mails are filtered directly without ever seeing my INBOX folder. there is a condition in the filter 'match' setting called ( ) Match all messages which i use as last filter of each email account to move emails to folder 'Local Folders/all-other'. i have considered adding sub-folders to it, but my filtering is extensive enough that i seldom have any emails hit 'all-other'. in your case, you could add sub-folders with name of you email accounts. that is up to you. what ever makes things simple to maintain is the main goal. there have been a number of posters on the 'support thunderbird list' complaining about an account having a corrupted Inbox. there have been many suggestions for a cure made. the one that works is to move *all* Inbox sub-folders out from under Inbox folder. they can be moved anywhere and i recommend they be moved to a place below the 'Local Folders' folder. cure rate by doing so is 100% there is/was a page on one of non mozilla owned mozilla support sites that recommends no sub-folder and it gave same reasons i found to be. i thought i had bookmarked site, but i have yet to find it. it does not shown up with a google search. so, now you know what i meant in wishing you good luck. also, understand this, you may not have a problem now, your setup could go on forever. then again, it might hit you. consider what and how much you have to lose vs the short time spent in dragging folders to a new location. when you drag and drop folders to a new position, thunderbird's filter routine will rewrite your filters to show new position so you do not have to rewrite any filter rules. This is the thing, I don't use Thunderbird's filter system at all. All my filtering is done server side by a Dovecot plugin called Sieve as I mentioned. This is useful as I use Thunderbird on multiple devices and OSes and I don't have to bother to keep my filters in sync. Also I get to write filters in my favourite editor which is great too. :) So my situation is - Thunderbird doesn't see any filtering, as far its concerned, messages just randomly appear in folders. :) I am not too worried about losing e-mails due to corruption as this is essentially my mailing list e-mail and most if not all of them are publicly archived. :) now you can see, and i hope understand, why i did not want to reply to your question in thread i started. if a fedora, or any other user ran a search with Subject: folders under Inbox, they would never find what they were looking for. there are enough answers to problems out there that are no where related to Subject: line. i did not see advantage of adding another and hiding a solution. i do hope this helps you make decision to move folders. ___ congratulations for your choice of wording in Subject:. tho next time, i would recommend ping: geleem. i have a filer for that.
