I think that's just the default domainname you get.

Check for non-zero and growing counts in the errors, dropped, and overruns fields. While the system is idle repeat the ifconfig separated by 30 seconds and see if the RX or TX packet counts are growing by large numbers. > > I did find a bunch of stuff when I googled "fc6 disable IPV6".

I did not know that but it does not seem to be hurting my firewall. Should be simple to edit that file to turn it off. I assume you only have one ethernet interface on the machine and are not accidentally routing traffic somehow (/sbin/ifconfig -a). -dl _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
