[Bug 782890] Re: no ping response on all hosts after upgrade

[Eric Metzler]

Chuck,

Actually, I'm not really sure. I installed server 10.10 and I don't think I
strayed much from the defaults. For some reason, either backuppc thinks that
I am using ipv6, or it was installed/enabled during the upgrade to 11.04. Is
it usually installed or enabled by default? How can I tell if I'm using it?
Thanks

Eric
