Hi,

Did you try the static commands in my previous post to you? The ipv6 is tunnel over the ipv4 driver. I would suggest that you look at 'man ip'.

A good tunnel explanation.

To gwsandvik,
Yeah, sorry, I forgot to mention that in my last post. I got my IP, gateway, etc info from the windows os that I have on the system and set them manually in linux as you described. When I ran ifconfig, they had changed appropriately, but when I tried to ping the gateway (or anything else for that matter), I never got a response.

I know I have a hardware problem (I suspect original complaint -- not the reset -- is firmware), and I am not at all happy about my interaction with its manufacturer, Best Data. After over 400 (semi-automatic) logged failures, I have a real good feel for the statistics. For right now I am just going to live with the problem. And curse Best Data every time I have to power cycle!

I don't want to hijack this thread with my problems, so I will just say the modem is ISA. I don't know what the buss speed is, but it is an old computer -- 233 Mhz Pentium MMX. If you really want to pursue this, why don't you email me.



Good point.

And thanks for that tunnel link in post #16

One of the atx 5 Volt lines is always live (on most machines, some have it missing). This is why your usb mouse will continue to glow even when the machine is off (some systems). I believe this power is offered to the pci bus as well. Therefore, the NIC could use that 5V to do processing and hold state, even with the power turned off. Flipping the switch on the back, however, is a whole different story.

That may explain that LAN wake up thing. It has to have power to turn the rest of the rig on.
