Hi per,
Because, as you have seen, disabling ipv6 only causes problems. Besides, ipv6 does not 'run', it's only a protocol. It doesn't send anything in the background either.
mh, your arguments are ok, - it makes problems. - but if its running a lot of stuff is sendet across my lan with ipv6 adesses, i dont know who (kernel/program), i do not knwo why.
main reason to disable is i do not understand the ipv6 behavior, i actually only know its NOT only more address-space than ipv4 its much more, and i have no time to read all the stuff for ipv6 and so i do not know how to gave them static addresses, check / set firewall (iptables) for it etc.... so i decide better not use (at least at long it is possible).
But it does not matter if it works :-)
If you are using SuSEfirewall2, you don't have to care.
No need to assign static IPv6 addresses (yet).
Only if it tries to connect to some computer and it doesn't work and causes problems, is remove IPv6 support a consideration. But the first thing is finding why it does not work and solving that part instead.
Anyway, if your ISP and router don't have an IPv6 address, that traffic doesn't go outside, so no worries.
I have IPv6 enabled on the computer and I have no issues with it. In "/etc/gai.conf" I changed:
precedence ::ffff:0:0/96 100
which makes the system to prefer IPv4, I understand.
Yes, that is what the comments say. When you don't have ipv6, it is unnecessary to change it though. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (5.2°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - virtual servers, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
