Now what was I thinking. Oh, wait. I wasn't thinking. There was the |
| 23 |
problem right there. I hadn't enabled any of the IPv6 stuff in the |
| 24 |
kernel. Jeeez, what a idiot. I haven't even thought of the kernel |
| 25 |
settings. < sighs > |

Anyway, I enabled a lot of stuff in the kernel and will reboot at some |
| 28 |
point and test again. I'm not sure when I will be rebooting tho. |
