Hmmm...that sounds very nice - just adding that one line and _nothing else_. This system is a server though, so how will that router know to give me the same IP every time ? > >> - if not, assuming I just want to assign a single > ipv6 address to > >> myself (let's say, ::2, since ::1 is the gateway) > what is the ifconfig > >> syntax to add that one ipv6 address to my NIC > (em0) as an alias that > >> will not interfere with the ipv4 address that is > already there ? > > ifconfig_fxp4="inet " > ifconfig_fxp4_alias0="inet " > ifconfig_fxp4_alias1="inet6 1234:1234:1234::2/64" > ifconfig_fxp4_alias2="inet6 1234:1234:1234::3/64" Ok, yes, I think I would like to do it manually like this. I notice you do not have a ipv6 default route statement there - is it not needed ? Do I need to tell my provider that I am taking the /48 they gave me and using it with a /64 like that, or can I just stick in the /64 and it will work fine ? I assume that if I just want to keep things simple I can just put /48 in place of your /64, right ? Thanks a lot. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Everyone is raving about the all-new Yahoo! Mail beta. http://new.mail.yahoo.com
