|    My turn for testing IPv6...    |

      Hi Andrew!              15 Aug 15 10:23, I wrote to you:               RC> 09 Aug 15 13:54, I wrote to you:        RC>> 02 Aug 15 16:35, you wrote to me:               AL>>> MBSE will use IPv6 first, and then fall back to IPv4 if        AL>>> necessary, assuming that the hostname has both A and AAAA        AL>>> records.               RC>> What else might be needed for that? Because on a Debian 8        RC>> install of v1.04, a poll attempt to your system went via IPv4.        RC>> (I'll check the settings I was using, and follow up as necessary        RC>> in the MBSE echo...)               RC> I tried your 1:320/219 node as well and it still went out via IPv4.        RC> Is it really MBSE that "will use IPv6 first"? Or it perhaps related to        RC> OS settings? The new system hosting 1:120/545 is a 64bit system on        RC> Debian 8.               Turned out to be an OS setting, at least on my system; I'd forgotten that        I'd set it to default to IPv4 connections (/etc/gai.conf) when I first set the        system up at home (so I could work on it; that's not where it's now deployed)        because I still do not have reliable IPv6 connectivity there.                                          Jame                            --- GoldED+/LNX 1.1.5-b20110213        * Origin: ftn.rocasa.net (1:120/544)    |
