Greetings Alejandro: In /etc/modprobe.d/aliases (if it exists), change alias net-pf-10 ipv6 to alias net-pf-10 off and add alias ipv6 off In /etc/modutils/aliases (if it exists), uncomment # alias net-pf-10 off #IPv6 and add alias ipv6 off Once you have modified both files to remove the references binding net-pf-10 to ipv6 and to disable the loading of the ipv6 module, run update-modules to build a new /etc/modules.conf. You can remove any ipv6 references from /etc/network/interfaces, /etc/resolv.conf, and /etc/hosts. Reboot the machine. Good luck. - -Scott -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFFK/uwS7FYdPX6+iYRAlPEAKCRnqgheJhvUUMfOY/TciM5kr3SdwCfYFR7 HLYpGMS/Vd4xI9ajF9kcTOs= =GgmV -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
