Hi everybody,

I'm Hugo and i'm working for an ISP in the Netherlands. Recently i decided
to delve into IPv6 and started experimenting with the Linux IPv6 stuff
like net-tools ipv6 and inet6-apps.  The net result of my attempts are
that i can see an ipv6 address on my eth0 interface, but i can't even ping
it.. ping (from net-tool ipv6) complains about not finding icmp6.

Mainly i'm trying to find some info like a quickstart guide to start with
IPv6 on a test LAN and later to connect to 6bone.

Can anybody help me with this? The linux kernel just provided this
mailinglist as a place to find things out about IPv6.  I also read the
IPv6 HOWTO at http://www.bieringer.de/linux/IPv6/..  but i think i'm still
missing certain things here since i'm a newbie to IPv6..

The distro i'm using is RedHat 6.2, most machines are just default
installs with the packaged kernel, one of my own workstations is running
the 2.3.99-pre3 kernel.

Thanks!

Hugo
