IPv6 in browsers in Mandrake 10.0
Hi all,
I have an annoying problem with IPv6 in browsers in Mandrake 10.0.
It appears that IPv6 works fine until I try to reach some address through Firefox or Konqueror.
For example, when I do traceroute to kame dot net
traceroute6 kame.net (I intentionally replaced some addreses with ##s)
traceroute to kame dot net (2001:200:0:8002:203:47ff:fea5:3085) from ##, 30 hops max, 16 byte packets
1 ## 0.482 ms 0.308 ms 0.266 ms
2 ## 48.66 ms 30.292 ms 22.951 ms
3 ## 16.563 ms 16.164 ms 16.731 ms
4 ## 53.697 ms 54.129 ms 58.655 ms
5 ## 148.189 ms 147.736 ms 147.356 ms

so, it resolves IPv6 addresses, and IPv6 works. Also telnet, ssh, ping all work with IPv6 and symbolic addresses. But when I try to reach kame dot net through Firefox (v0.9.3) or Konqueror, it always go through IPv4, so no dancing Kame... I tried also //[2001:200:0:8002:203:47ff:fea5:3085]/, and it worked...
Browsers are set to direct connection to the Internet without any proxies.
I also checked about:config in Firefox, and variable network.dns.disableIPv6 is set to false.
It seems that I have some problem with DNS resolving IPv6 in browsers, but I don't have any further ideas how to handle this...
Does anyone have an idea about what should I do?
Thanks and regards,
Mirror
