Hello, I'm running FreeBSD 6.2-PRERELEASE on my new desktop. It has the following hardware: - Intel Core 2 Duo 6400 - Asus P5B motherboard - On-board Realtek NIC (8168B/8111B) For some reason, it drops all incoming IPv6 packets. I can only SSH to the machine using IPv6 when I run the following command: $ ifconfig re0 promisc Is this a known issue about these NICs?

The issue can happen on a NIC with incorrectly programmed ethernet address. Would you show me dmesg/tcpdump output of your system? Make sure to add -e option to tcpdump(1). > > Yours, > -- > Ed Schouten <ed@fxq.nl> > WWW: http://g-rave.nl/ -- Regards, Pyun YongHyeon

It would help to have the output of: ifconfig -a netstat -rn Best, George
