If you check the routing tables and a few other things that are set up when you enable IPv6, you will find they are not. What has happened is that some application, at start up, has referenced AF_INET6 or PF_INET6 and the kernel has obligingly loaded it. But it hasn't been properly configured. For an end node, it's pretty damn close. It will autoconfigure, if there is an advertising router. Otherwise, you're not in good shape. > Furthermore where can you 'stop' and 'start' it and how. > (Not disable it, I know that you can do that via /etc/modprobe.conf). No... I can not be started and stopped. In fact, you have to reboot the machine to disable it once you've modified /etc/modprobe.conf. > Alexander Mike -- Michael H.
