Thanks a lot for the help Ashish. I tried with the iptables service turned off. No result there either. Is there something apart from iptables that might be blocking packets?
netstat -L lists it as running on local address *:dhcpv6-server, that is how its supposed to be i guess. but, the state column of the entry is empty(it says LISTEN for some of the other entries, shouldnt this socket be in LISTEN state too??). how do i go about correcting this? netstat -tupan doesn't list it at all Also, it seems that there is some sort of a service that is trying to assign an address to the interface on the client(Fedora 8). When the dhcpv6 client fails to assign an address, it automatically assigns itself an IPv4 address(a private address). How can i disable this functionality? As always, help is highly appreciated thank you Navjot Kukreja On Mon, Mar 31, 2008 at 1:18 AM, Ashish Shukla आशीष शुक्ल < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > >>>>> "Navjot" == Navjot Kukreja <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > Navjot> Hi everyone > Navjot> I am supposed to set up an IPv6 testbed here in college and I'm > stuck at the > Navjot> very first step.
