The ipv6 issue
by Understudy on Sunday December 08, @05:24PM

A recent bug with IPV6 has required that a line be added to the ppp.conf in some cases the new ppp.conf adds this line "disable ipv6cp" . the new ppp.conf looks like this.


default:
	set timeout 0            #Change to 0 if no timeout desired
name_of_service_provider:
	#the device your modem is connected to
        set device PPPoE:xxx:  #replace xxx with the NIC chipset id

	#line quality reporting, allows auto reconnects
        enable lqr
	
	# sets nutty ISP mtus. These numbers may vary.
	set mru 1492
        set mtu 1492

        set speed sync
        set dial
        set login
        set timeout 0
        disable ipv6cp   # disable ipv6 requests

	#username and password here
        set authname username@isp.com
        set authkey password

	#don't worry about this bit here :)
        set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.0

	#adds a default route to the IP ISP give you
        add 0 0 HISADDR

	#allow unlimited amount of redials
        set redial 0 0
