Actually.... at this moment you should be better off using: /sbin/route -A inet6 add 2000::0/3 gw <ipv6gw>
Which takes care of all currently allocated IPv6 space, thus: 2001::/16 2002::/16 and 3ffe::/16 which should be all for some time to be... > I was told upgrading the kernel would fix it, but I haven't had time to recompile. It prolly doesn't ... at least I haven't seen any linux kernel yet which fixes it... But ofcourse with the great speed everything is being done it could be fixed already ;) The 'reason' for this is/was that a router should know where it's 'default' packets should go. Configuring a linux box without /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/forwarding enabled will allow one to do a 'route -A default gw <ipv6gw> though... (which prolly gets done by rtsol's ;) Greets, Jeroen --------------------------------------------------------------------- The IPv6 Users Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending "unsubscribe users" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
