If you try to use IPv6 over a network that doesn't support it (that means everything within your LAN, your link to your ISP, and its link to the outside world), then failures are going to happen. Particularly when the software thinks that it can use IPv6. i.e. It asks for an IP, gets given an IPv6 one, then is unable to make an IPv6 connection. In my opinion, you either have to turn off IPv6, or ensure that it's fully working (you have a completely IPv6 capable network, or a working IPv6 over IPv4 proxy). Leaving it up to its own devices is asking for trouble. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 3.6.1-1.fc17.x86_64 All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists. -- 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 Have a question?
