My Kubuntu installation has support for both IPv4 and IPv6. Is there packages for both? Here is a listing from my /etc/hosts file. 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost roseway # The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts ::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback fe00::0 ip6-localnet ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix ff02::1 ip6-allnodes ff02::2 ip6-allrouters ff02::3 ip6-allhosts Hope this helps.
