The following line (executed by the dhclient script on my machine) ifconfig eth0 inet 152.81.2.43 netmask 255.255.240.0 broadcast 152.81.15.255
creates IPv6 addresses (starting with 2001: and 2002:), given by "ifconfig eth0". The problem is that these addresses do not work (well, at least the 2002: one) and I cannot connect to some web sites from my machine, using mozilla and lynx (no problem with wget, as it uses IPv4 only). More precisely, I did a test with lynx, looking at the traffic with ethereal, and I could see that an IP packet with the 2002: source address was sent to the remote site, but my machine never got any reply packet from this site. I'm using a 2.6.6 kernel. Is there a way to fix that (apart from writing a script that parses the output of "ifconfig eth0" and removes the IPv6 addresses with "ifconfig eth0 del ...")? Isn't it a bug (I used the inet address family in the ifconfig line above, not inet6)?
