What is your distro, your kernel? For lenny's kernel 2.6.26 you can include the file ipv5.conf into the directory /etc/modprobe.d with the next content: blacklist ipv6 For the next versions of kernel (i.e. 2.6.32) you can include the words "ipv6.disable=1" into /boot/grub/menu.lst such as the next: kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-bpo.5-amd64 root=UUID=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ipv6.disable=1 ro Or compile your own kernel withount ipv6 from sources. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkyt3qsACgkQV59uvM2EEndI/QCgtUgg2lBNwxOqghXT8ue7HBgs Rm4AoImfYlgT3PKONBPxtSEMdY+Pgt4C =36V9 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
