Quite so. Every IPv6 capable device has a link local address that can
be used for communication within the local LAN. For example, when you use a router, you use it's link local address. I understand that local addresses are accessible. But how about internet addresses, should they be considered accessible without an IPv6 capable router?
I don't know the details, but the IP stack should be able to recogize what's reachable and what's not. I don't seem to have a problem with the apps I use. As I mentioned in an earlier note, my firewall resolv.conf contains 2 IPv6 DNS server addresses and 1 IPv4. The main reason I have the IPv4 one is that the 6in4 tunnel software needs to use a DNS to start up and find the tunnel broker. If I had only IPv6 DNS servers available, it would never work. So, the tunnel software manages to get past those 2 IPv6 addresses and reach the IPv4 DNS. Other apps, such as browsers and email likewise have no problem working regardless of whether or not IPv6 is available. Perhaps the problem is within that app that you're having problems with. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
