I have disabled IPv6 by adding an "install ipv6 /bin/true" line into /etc/modprobe.d/dist.conf and by disabling the ip6tables Service. This does allow Firefox to find web sites (whihc it would not do before), but does not allow telnet or ftp to work. The results are excatly as before. So that seems to indicate that even after disabling IPv6, IPv6 DNS requests are still being issued. -- Dick Holland -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
