I just tried an experiment to see if a pair of computers, running openSUSE, could connect via IPv4 link local addresses. In Windows, when DHCP fails, it reverts to a link local address in the 169.254.0.0/16 range. This makes it possible to connect two computers with just an Ethernet cable or ad hoc WiFi connection. However, I've found that openSUSE does not do this, though IPv6 link local works. Any idea why reverting to IPv4 link local was not implemented?
It was and is.
Not to my knowledge.
You're right, my fault, I misread the config.
Link local addresses were added by avahi as far as I remember.
Hmm, I remember seeing avahi running, yes. I guess that's what James need to look at. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (10.2°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free dynamic DNS, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
