[Gllug] My network is using IPv6 ... and I didn't even know it ?!?

[Richard Jones]

Followup to this ...

On the Debian GNU/Linux box, running the 2.6.0 kernel, I see that
eth0 has been assigned an IPv6 address:

rich at arctor:~$ /sbin/ifconfig eth0
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:40:63:C9:7A:FD  
          inet addr:10.0.0.249  Bcast:10.255.255.255  Mask:255.0.0.0
          inet6 addr: fe80::240:63ff:fec9:7afd/64 Scope:Link

I'm not sure who or what allocates this.  The 10.0.0.249 address
is statically assigned.  /etc/network/interfaces doesn't mention
IPv6 addresses.

Strange ...

Rich.
