Hi,
I have upgraded several machine to Fedora 2 without
problem but one machine has been left with no networking.
This particular machine I upgraded from RH7.3
and everything appeared to go fine but I could net get any e-mail and I
discovered that my eth0 device has been removed and replaced with a sit0 device
which is a bit strange since when the machine is booting it says "Configuring
eth0 [ OK ]. Here are the results of 'ifconfig sit0'
sit0 Link
encap:Ipv6-in-Ipv4
inet6 addr: ::127.0.0.1/96 Scope Unknown
UP
RUNNING NOARP MTU:1480 Metric 1
RX
packets:0 errors:0 dropped 0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX
packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carier:0
collision:0 txqueuelen:0
RX
bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0 0 b)
So it would apear that the upgrade configured my
ethernet card to IPv6 but was unable to set the address. My old Ipv4 address was
192.168.1.10 (I am behind a Linksys router)
So my question is: how do I configure the system to
work as it did before?
Can my internet clients (Balsa, Epiphany, etc)
use IPv6 or do I somehow return to Ipv4?
Thanks
Steve the confused.
PS. ping6 ::127.0.0.1
works.
