Thunderbird and other network tools have troubles with DHCP (IPv4 + IPv6). I go to YaST2 and disable IPv6. Steps to reproduce: 1. Network Devices -> Network Settings 2. Global Settings -> IPv6 Protocol Settings -> disable "Enable IPv6" I found these repeated lines in /var/log/messages: Jul 7 01:20:45 linux dhclient: XMT: Solicit on eth0, interval 113830ms. Jul 7 01:20:45 linux dhclient: send_packet6: Cannot assign requested address Jul 7 01:20:45 linux dhclient: dhc6: send_packet6() sent -1 of 54 bytes But I found out in "Overview" from "Network Settings" that the assigned Ethernet-Card has still activate the DHCP4 *AND* DHCP6-Client. I assume, if I disable the IPv6-Protocol, then the DHCP setting from assigned Ethernet-Card should be switching to "DHCP version 4 only" and should NOT set to "DHCP both version 4 and 6"!!! I would call it a design error in YaST2 (Network) and should be fixed. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. run YaST2 2. Network Devices -> Network Settings 3. Global Settings -> IPv6 Protocol Settings -> disable "Enable IPv6" 4. look at "Overview" and go into any Ethernet-Card setting and check DHCP setting. Actual Results: Assigned Ethernet-Card still used DHCP6, if IPv6 is disabled. Expected Results: Assigned Ethernet-Card should use DHCP4, if IPv6 is disabled. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
