I have my network card configured for IPv4 and IPv6 from my ISP. It isn't getting an IPv6 address. The daemons started are

for the IPv6 and IPv4 addresses respectively. When I reboot, my ethernet card has an MTU of 576 which isn't large enough to process an IPv6 address. If I bring down dhclient6, do an
ip link set eth1 mtu 1500
and then rerun dhclient6 then it grabs an IPv6 address and assigns it to the interface correctly. How can I change this MTU so I don't have to manually do this? Scott
You can set the MTU in Yast > Network Settings. Edit the details for the NIC. MTU is set on the General tab. With the MTU set to 1500 you should find IPv4 performance improves too.
Any clues on why this would be set to anything other than 1500? That seems pretty standard. Why would the op find his set at 576? -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
