In some experimenting with IPv6 vs IPv4 with my notebook, I have noticed that openSUSE does not recognize that an IPv6 path is not available. When I have an IPv6 connection, the IPv6 connection works as expected, but when it's not, protocols such as ssh still try to use the IPv6 address. The hosts command returns both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, even when there is no IPv6 connection. When there is no IPv6 connection, ip -6 route sh shows "fe80::/64 dev wlan0 proto kernel metric 256. While I don't know the details with openSUSE, a maximum metric number generally indicates an unreachable route which should be ignored. Any ideas? tnx jk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
