wtf is ping default ipv6 now
I now have two wireless systems and four wired systems that fail pinging yahoo.com (or anywhere else except locally) unless "-4" is specified.
previously, two days ago, all systems worked w/o a problem and w/o the need to specify ipv4.
I even had to deny ipv6 in "yast lan" in order to connect to yahoo/google/... which seem to default to ipv6 addresses.
It has been for quite some time. Unless you specify otherwise, the IPv6 address will be used, if available.
so why was ipv6 addressing working until yesterday? if I close firefox and restart it and it tries to reconnect to previous pages, it fails, cannot connect (unless I disable ipv6 in 'yast lan' and reboot). I have never had this problem. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
