Re: [arch-general] ipv6 only half working

Hi David,

I'm having some weird problems with ipv6 on my box.

It'll never catch on. :-)

but w3m via ipv6 doesn't: [darose@darsys12 ~]$ w3m -6 -dump ipv6.google.com ... hangs forever ...

I suspect the difference between how well your network/ISP is copying with TCP and UDP; HTTP connections and DNS queries. curl(1) and w3m(1) might achieve the same end result differently. You can try strace -fe %network w3m -6 -dump ipv6.google.com and see how far it gets. With older strace(1), drop the `%'. Compare with other commands that work or don't work. As for Giancarlo's suggestion of MTU, tracepath(8) is handy for checking that. It has undocumented `-4' and `-6' options. -- Cheers, Ralph. https://plus.google.com/+RalphCorderoy
