Disable IPv6 in Fedora Core 8

Posted by Shu on April 10, 2008 Leave a comment (0) Go to comments

Almost no pre-existing instructions on this issue works on Fedora Core 8.

Now here is how you can do this with FC8 to disable IPv6:

Append the following line to /etc/modprobe.conf:
install ipv6 /bin/true
Append the following line to /etc/sysconfig/network:
NETWORKING_IPV6=no
Ensure your network adapter is configured not to use IPv6. This is an easy edit in the system-config-network gui, or do it manually in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 (ammend for name of your adapter) by appending IPV6INIT=no
