BTW, why are you using dhcp6 for addresses? That's normally not necessary. The router advertises the local network and the computers combine that with their MAC address and/or random number to create a valid IPv6 address. I don't know about Koenraad's situation, but using dhcpv6 is good for allocating static addresses that aren't tied to the NIC.
Of course, static configuration will also do that, without going to the trouble of setting up a dhcp6 server. A dhcp6 server is useful for setting up other things, such as pointing to servers for DNS, NTP etc. On my network, I have my own NTP caching DNS servers. On my main computer, I use static configuration, using IPv6 addresses for them. For any computer that uses DHCP to obtain an IPv4 address, also gets the IPv4 addresses for those servers via DHCP4. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
