However, I haven't tried connecting with a computer that has a static address. So, just enable DHCP to test to see what happens.
That's incorrect. I forgot my main computer has a static IPv4 address and it gets an IPv6 address automagically.
Oh. Curious! How does it do that, what component listens for it? If one sets a static IPv4 address in yast it also expects one to write an IPv6 address there. I don't expect a dhcp6 client to be listening unless specified. Anyway, I don't get any from the router: Telcontar:~ # ip -6 route show fc00::/64 dev eth0 proto kernel metric 256 mtu 1492 pref medium fe80::/64 dev eth0 proto kernel metric 256 mtu 1492 pref medium fe80::/64 dev vmnet1 proto kernel metric 256 pref medium fe80::/64 dev vmnet8 proto kernel metric 256 pref medium -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.
