Greetings; In /etc/sysconfig/ifcfg-eth0 I have the line as in the subject, but I note that bringing up eth0, at a fixed ipv4 address in the 192.168 block, there is about a 5 second pause doing it, and ifconfig does report what looks like valid ipv6 addresses for both eth0 and lo. eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:1F:C6:62:FC:BB inet addr:192.168.71.3 Bcast:192.168.71.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::21f:c6ff:fe62:fcbb/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:52899 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:45100 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:34184438 (32.6 MiB) TX bytes:26737247 (25.4 MiB) Interrupt:22 Base address:0xa000 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:6888 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:6888 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:16987249 (16.2 MiB) TX bytes:16987249 (16.2 MiB) How does one go about disabling that? -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
