And the most surprising thing is, that it worked for one single moment, see the PS, and stopped working after the next reboot - with all what I tried to make it work still untouched and in place.
Any further tipps here?
do you even have an IPv6 service from your ISP? try pinging [2a00:1450:401b:801::2004] (an address I get for www.google.com)
thats the confusing thing, I more or less randomly end up in one of three situations (without changing anything), trying to ping www.google.com: - IPv6 is tried , but takes forever and has 100% package loss (frecuent). - pinging IPv6 addresses works (very rare) - pinging pure IPv6 addresses (ipv6.google.com) results in 'network not found', but pinging www.google.com results in a successfull IPv4 ping (very rare) So this is just an ISP problem, and the only reasonable solution is to deactivate IPv6 on my system? I'll try that.
also, ping now has the -4 and -6 options to specify which protocol to use. otherwise, AFAIK the resolver in glibc autodetects if it'll use ipv4 or ipv6 by defult
