It shouldn't be disturbing. We're only talking about the IPv6 loopback interface. You don't have to have any real IPv6 interfaces in use, and thus no actual IPv6 in your network. It should still work fine in IPv4-only networks. Such, say, the SWAN. :-/ -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sun Microsystems / 35 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677 _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list [email protected]
