I have 5.3 current. here is what it's doing: browsing the net is imposible (signing into AIM, IRC, mail, anything = that uses a dns server is also imposible.) takes forever to resolve by name, resolves in milisecnds and loads the = page in half a second when using IP Here is what I did to try to fix it: checked and edited all the config files (inetd.conf, resolve.conf) no change Looked for the infamous 99kde-env file that is supposed to have some = kind of ENABLE_IPV6_no=3D"1" line in it, and it's not in 5.3...at least = not by that filename. The Linux guys were saying that they were having = the same trouble and setting that environment variable for KDE did the = trick. Commented out the INET6 line in the GENERIC kernel and recompiled. No = change. Found two more lines that had to do with INET6 gif and something else, = so I commented out those two and compiled again. No change. Moved the IPv6 address from the top to the bottom in hosts file, no = change. Configured the NIC I can't tell you how many times, static, DHCP. I've tried 4 other browsers. Even ping takes about 90 seconds to return = anything. I can't show you my kernel config or anything else, because I can't even = send/recieve email. That is name based, of course, so forget it. I can't = browse the net unless I know the host's IP and all the links are = relative and the host allows http req's by IP....otherwise I would have = set up Samba and wrote those files to the windows HDD so I can share = that with everyone, but I can't. The one thing I didn't try, and didn't think of it till just now is I = never actually tried IPv6 support on the card using sysinstall. Maybe = the all the apps are sending ip6 to the card, and the card isn't = telling the app to use ip4 because the card doesn't know what it's = getting in the first place...could that be it? Any help would be great! -RC
