Heya,
I am having a problem with 3 different FreeBSD machines failing to auto-configure themselves for IPv6 despite receiving an RA packet.
Here's the outline:
tcpdump while running rtsol em0:
contents of rc.conf:
No host firewall is configured on the server. The above is from a FreeBSD 9.0 machine, however I a having similar issues on FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE-p4 and 8.1-RELEASE. At the same time a Linux host on the same broadcast domain is working making me believe I am overlooking something simple.
Can anybody assist?
