This sounded promising, and the machines are on the same home lan, but I could not ping6 them or ssh -6 into them using those addresses. Maybe there's something else I need to configure first? In the meantime, I just did static ip addresses for the three Debian machines for the time being. Thanks so much for the suggestions. rd -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
