In the meantime you can fix this issue by either using Google public DNS (add two nameserver entries to /etc/resolv.conf), or better yet switch to Fedora or Ububtu. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

(That is, if they don't have a patch for this in their glibc. Maybe they do.) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Guess what it can choose to use ipv6 or ipv4 according to performance and of course this is post install. This looks to be done on the fly so it can switch at any time. Opensuse may have been the first to release ipv6 functionality many moons ago but it clearly isn't really ipv6 ready on this basis. Suse.de released and ungraded all users to ipv6. The result was that many users had no web access at all. Mine worked but oh so very very slowly. At the time they mentioned tunneling and it looks like my isp does support it but it's a lot slower these days. There is a very recent .gov.uk paper pointing out that there are so few ipv6 servers about that full roll out will probably take at least a further 2 years. It also points out that as far as many isp's are concerned there is no need to change to ipv6 as they can manage more users in other ways. I assume this means that they will use sub net techniques just as a single ip can service many pc's on the users end of the line. So putting it bluntly an install fix is just a patch really as at some point it will roll out and probably while ipv4 is still in use. Windoze looks to be able to cope now. Lixux can't. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Nosing around on windoze vista recently I noticed that it appears to be able to use either ipv4 or ipv6 on the fly and will choose according to performance. Now that really is ipv6 ready.

One update via yast worked but 2 following ones failed to connect to the server in time. I reset the dns to google and it works again. Problem though as I'm in the uk all web access is has a longish pregnant pause before the web page comes up. When I have time I will take a closer look at vista to try and determine if what appears to be their does actually work. Even if it doesn't it does show intent and at this point in time given the very low number of ipv6 servers about it doesn't really matter if it doesn't work.
