[Fwd: IPv6 tunnel] problem solved

[Brian Lunergan]

Went digging a little further and found a solution elsewhere. IPv6 is now 
inactive on my machine (the Linux side anyway) and Firestarter is working as it 
should, seeing only ppp0 as an active device.

When IPv6 is the standard across the entire Internet will be the time to wonder 
about turning it back on and seeking out updates of the applications that will 
make use of it.

Morning All:

Tried setting up firestarter and ran into a problem with location. Only gave me
the option for IPv6 tunnel with a device code of Sit0 (or something very close
to that). When I started the interface and logged on to the net it did pick up
on ppp0 being present and active but it still would not start because it didn't
see the tunnel as an active device.

Did a short google on the term and IPv6 tunnel seems to be something associated
more with business and network setups. Is it something I need for a single home
machine? If it isn't, what are my targets and hunting ground to disable and/or
remove? If it is useful, what changes do I need to make to get it to a state
that Firestarter will see it as an active device?
