      MSGID: 1:282/1031.0 4e0c6e1b       TZUTC: -0600       CHARSET: PC-8       Hello There,              First, let me say that I am far from overly knowledgeable regarding IPv6       operation and functionality.              But after talking, being on hold to several levels of my ISP's support staff       over the last two hours. I feel pretty dang smart. :-)              I had to explain my IP situation several different ways before I could get       them to comprehend what I actually needed. My situation is really quite simple       to me. I have a block of static v4 IP's I am told by my ISP that each static       v4 IP has a derived v6 IP assigned to it. I asked them what the v6 Prefix and       the v6 Gateway address(s) were. They had little if any knowledge what my v6       IP's were let alone what the prefix or gateway would be. Linux needs to know       those settings before one can save the network settings for that that Linux       PC. I have written a bash script that goes out and gets my v6 IP and IF it has       changed it then updates the settings at my DNS provider for that domain. Which       shouldn't be needed IF the v6 IP was actually static like they say that it is.              Jeff              --- BBBS/Li6 v4.10 Toy-4        * Origin: Fidoneet: The Ouija Board - Anoka, MN -bbs.ouijabrd.net (1:282/1031)       SEEN-BY: 1/120 123 14/5 15/0 2 18/0 19/36 34/999 90/1 116/18 120/331       SEEN-BY: 123/0 25 50 115 150 755 128/2 153/7715 154/10 203/0 218/700       SEEN-BY: 221/0 1 6 360 226/17 229/354 426 1014 230/0 150 152 240/1120       SEEN-BY: 240/5832 249/206 317 400 250/1 261/38 100 267/155 275/100       SEEN-BY: 280/464 5003 5006 5555 282/1031 1056 291/1 111 292/854 298/25       SEEN-BY: 298/26 310/31 317/3 320/219 322/757 340/400 342/13 200 393/68       SEEN-BY: 423/120 633/280 640/305 1321 1384 712/848 770/1 801/189 2320/105       SEEN-BY: 2452/250 3634/0 12 3828/7 5020/545       PATH: 282/1031 261/38 3634/12 640/1384 221/1 280/464 229/426           |
