If you plan to use IPv6 for multiple machines, it might be worth it to configure an advertisement daemon such as radvd which is quite simple to run. I use /etc/network/interfaces on the gw with multiple address lines, and you can use "ifconfig <intf> add <addr>/<prefix>" or "ip addr add <addr>/<prefix> dev <intf>" Don't forget the -f inet6 for ip and -A inet6 for ifconfig if you're configuring ipv6 addresses. if you do not manage to add the addresses via the /etc/network/interfaces, I suggest using "up <command> || true" lines for the interface in question. -- Lo�c Minier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
