I really hate it if I some day need to start to use addresses like this in my home network.:-( Just add them to your hosts file. They work fine that way. BTW, what the heck is that address? It looks similar to a "unique local" address, but all those are supposed to start with fc00 or fd00. I have no idea were fdb5 might have come from. Incidenatlly, I have no problem using ssh -X over either IPv4 or IPv6 here. I have IPv6 enabled on all my computers and also to the internet. Forgot to mention, that ssh -X included both to and from an 11.3 system. So, there's no problem with that and 11.3 over either IPv4 or IPv6.
I communicate mostly from openSUSE 11.2/11.3 with CentOS5 servers. IPv6 works fine there as well.
At least in my case the problem was NOT with IPv6. I just routinely
Indeed. As I tried to write a few times, the problem rose when I disabled IPv6 from YaST. X11 forwarding over SSH should work also with IPv4, but didn't. Maybe the hosts file was the problem (I don't know enough). Slightly off-topic (but so this seems to be already anyhow), I personally like to have all my home computers behind NAT. It acts as nice firewall. IPv6 settings in my router are "link-local" and none of the other settings (static IPv6, DHCPv6, PPPoE, IPv6 in IPv4 tunnel, 6to4 mode) seem to offer similar hiding of the local computers. Well, that's how it seems - of course, there is no real documentation and I'm just guessing :-( -- HG. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
