https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list</a><br>> ><br>><br>> Hi Trotter!<br>><br>> My Quest supplied ActiontecG701-WG responded to IPv6 DNS queries with the<br>> same <a href="http://1.0.0.0">
1.0.0.0</a> address. I found the easiest way arround it was to remove the<br>> modem's address (<a href="http://192.168.0.1">192.168.0.1</a>) from /etc/resolv.conf (there was another<br>> nameserver to use).<br>>
<br>> I did not see anything about a Kernal issue related to this? To what do you<br>> refer.<br>><br>> In the process I learned that Firefox has one network related parameter to<br>> disable the use of IPv6 DNS queries. Perhaps this is more common than we
<br>> know.<br>><br>> Perhaps it should be filed as a bug with a suggested fix to check for a<br>> valad response address?<br>><br>> Thanks for the note!<br>><br>> Tod<br><br>Hi Tod,<br><br>I was about to telnet into my modem and try to fix the problem. However, have
<br>you upgraded to the latest firmware for this modem (released on 16th March<br>2006)? Is the bug still there. Upgrading seems to have "worked" for me....<br><br>Best,<br>Trotter<br><br>__________________________________________________

<div><br>Hi Trotter!</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The modem is not ours and there is no real reason at this time to call Quest about it. So no.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Strange though, the problem seemed to go away for a time. I wonder if they from time to time upgrade the firmware and in the last cycle got the wrong edition somehow.?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>People have often suggested setting up my own DNS server in the machine. Probably that would be a good idea and I may well do it some time.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>All the best!</div>
