Is the team currently working gin a solution to this problem, after all most networks still routing through IPv6. Patiently waiting for an answer...Lisandro Grullon The following is taken from the script of government informational video #3378: Commentator: Fear not! [Cut to scenes of Post WWII networking facilities ravaged by the war. Half-starving network technicians are trying to repair antiquated routers and switches.] Commentator: The FreeBSD team is working feverishly to solve this problem. Unfortunately, the resolution requires the replacement of billions of dollars worth of network equipment spread across the world, much of it owned by private companies who have little or no knowledge of the problem or the solution. [Cut to air-drops of new networking equipment being dropped over war- torn cities. Crowds of people line the streets and cheer as the parachutes drop gently to the ground right in front of the local telco.] Commentator: Luckily, the FreeBSD project has scores of influential computer technicians all over the world, and they're all working to solve the problem. We believe that, in time, this scourge on our network can be removed! [Cut to shots of community groups meeting in churches with laptops.] Commentator: What can you do to help? Work to track down the exact cause of your particular network problem and report it to the responsible party. Volunteer with your local user's group for whatever needs done!

I loaded a machine with Windows Vista a work and try accessing the www.freebsd.org website. The web site didn't load, yet I try again in 10 other machines to see if it was a machine issue. Lastly I try loading the size in a Windows XP machine and it works ok. What seems to be the problem in this case? I have run out of ideas and even ask a few colleges at work and they don't seem to have a clue either. Please advise.
