I'll try those commands you suggest and post the results. I'm a bit suspicious, though, as I have tried removing my local DNS server from the config and using only my ISP's servers. I got exactly the same result (see my response to Doc earlier in this thread); I guess if my ISP's DNS servers don't support IPv6 then none of their customers can be using recent Fedoras. I'll try the commands you suggested on both configs: with my DNS server in; and with it out. -- Dick Holland -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
