(We inadvertently went off list...So I will reproduce what I sent Steve here) Early AM here in Taiwan. No coffee yet. I think you are saying your ISP isn't providing IPv6 support at all and that you'd like to totally disable IPv6. If that is the case then you can do this by adding ipv6.disable=1 to the kernel boot parameters in grub. If I misunderstood your question let me know and I'll try again after coffee. Later, with still no coffee..... I decided to do a test and add ipv6.disable=1 to the kernel parameter on one of my VM's. In the past, this was sufficient. However, doing only this now results in selinux errors. To avoid those you also need to add "net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 1" to /etc/sysctl.conf. -- Fedora Users List - The place to go to get others to do the work for you _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
