And the winner is: $ fgrep ipv6 /etc/sysctl.conf | tail -1 net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 1 changing to 0 and rerunning sysctl -> ta-da! I still consider this a bug, because other IRC clients (erc, chatzilla) had no problem with IPv6 being disabled. Rhonda> Does networking work on that machine for you at all?

I had no problems running other IRC clients or other programs not specifically requiring IPv6. -- Please *no* private copies of mailing list or newsgroup messages. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
