I am using Debian Lenny. $ uname -a Linux mylappy 2.6.18-4-486 #1 Wed May 9 22:23:40 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux
I changed the "alias net-pf-10 ipv6" line to the following two lines. alias net-pf-10 off alias ipv6 off After rebooting, I checked: lsmod | grep ipv6. Sure enough it is gone and the command gives nil output. But when I use bitchx or pidgin to connect to irc.freenode.net, I can still see DNS AAAA irc.freenode.net type of queries.As a result our DNS server that doesn't understand ipv6 returns 1.0.0.0 as the address and the clients don't work. First I tried making these changes /etc/modprobe.d/aliases - Result: problem persists (Yes, I did reboot after the changes) Next, I tried adding the two alias off lines in /etc/modeprobe.d/00local - Result: problem persists. Finally, I added the line "blacklist ipv6" towards the top (5th line) of /etc/modeprobe.d/blacklist - Result: still the problem persists. I have succeeded to make Iceweasel work by setting network.dns.disableIPv6=true in about:config. But I need a OS-wide solution so that all my network apps do not send ipv6 DNS AAAA type requests and they work successfully. Please help me to disable ipv6 completely. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
