using auto get me this:
ifdown: interface eth0 not configured
RTNETLINK answers: File exists
ifup: failed to bring up eth0Anonymous
I can not tell what’s borked in your NW but, as much as I know, ‘auto’ option should not make any harm — either it connects ipv6 or it uses a ‘fallback’ to ipv4.
There are three options: ‘static’, ‘dhcp’ and ‘auto’.
In the 1st case, you need to assign the configuration, in the 2nd it’s your gateway assigning you the address and in the 3rd case, system will try to auto-configure.
If it fails, then it will look like on my screenshots — it disconnects ‘eth0’, can’t activate ‘ipv6’ and it reconnects, falling back to ‘ipv4’.
You can see it at the end line: bound … fallback ipv4 address.
Maybe you can also try to add ‘ipv6’ and ‘auto’ to ‘eth1’ and ‘eth2’ and check what happens.
That kind of problems is out of my scope.
I know that in my case it can’t work, since I’m in ipv4 only NW with anything ipv6 disabled.
(Router/Gateway, Host PC, VBox …)
fwiw, i have a static ip assigned to this laptop for ipv4 so wouldn’t i want to use static ip for ipv6 also? shouldn’t auto work no matter what though? really getting bummed about this although it is having no effect on my browsing. nothing i have tried comes up looking anything like your screen shots but i know ipv6 works on this laptop with any other OS.
really appreciate the great help here though đ

Simply a good advice, not more, not less — Opera Browser + OOTB VPN and you’re good to go. đ

doubt if that would work as both these machines are 32bit and opera no longer does 32bit version. don’t know if i mentioned that previously?

hi fredbiscard,
just for clearity can you post your “/etc/network/interfaces” file or attach it as a txt file?
after putting the line for inet6 in mine I had to rerun ceni before it worked. you could
try that too. After adding the line and rerunning ceni my output of inxi -zi now read as
in the screenshot … I have here ipv6 on both network interfaces on 32-bit.There are many different approaches to problem solving, however one would need to know what do you have in mind with ipv6 and that’s what you didn’t tell us.
I mean, almost nobody is using ipv6 (OK, in Asia maybe) and every website I ever wanted to visit is accessible over ipv4.
Actually, almost everybody everywhere is almost solely using ipv4, so — why bother?
Maybe you could try using older Opera builds (if they have VPN support).
Or, you could maybe try to use the Opera Windows 32-bit version — it probably runs in Wine.
You could install 32-bit Windows too, if ipv6 is a priority or, simply use ipv6 on what works — on Lubuntu or Mint.
For reading one website once in a while, you could try some IPv6 free Proxy.
Or, you could use a (free after signup) IPv6 Tunnel Broker.
Maybe you could also bing it or google it and look for some setup instructions.
However, keep in mind, the way you try to do it now is totally dependent upon your ISP.

They recently converted us on IPv6 and antix just worked, as always.
Nevertheless access to IPV6 (and IPV4) is controlled by /etc/hosts. This is what mine looks like.
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 antix1# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allroutersH.T.H.

in the screenshot ⌠I have here ipv6 on both network interfaces on 32-bit.i will try to get to that tonight. can you show me your file where you entered that line, shown below, just to make sure i’m putting it in the correct place, which i’m pretty sure i am, but who knows?!
iface eth0 inet6 dhcphmm? the bar for putting in code is showing up for me now. wasn’t previously.

Hmmm …
can you show me your file where you entered that line, shown below, just to make sure iâm putting it in the correct place
It’s still the same file, it’s still the same line, it’s still the same screenshot.
Post #22248 above, screenshot: ‘screenshot_1_1.jpg’
Options: âstaticâ, âdhcpâ or âautoâ.
here’s mine it’s dhcp though. Anyways your iface lines should be before any lines with
an ip address.
@VW my hosts file does look just like that … never touched it.thanks again.
like i said. will try to work on this again tonight.
