Hi,
I have an old PowerMac G4, running MacOS 10.4.11 and have set it up as
IPv6 gateway to sixxs.net.
A few months ago the system would become non-responsive to network
access, whether via IPv4 or IPv6. Disabling the script I used to
enable to the gateway resolved the issue, but I didn't have time to
identify the cause. Now I have investigated further and found that
running the following command causes network loss and inability to
browse the primary drive (second internal drive and external Firewire
drive is not affected):
sysctl -w net.inet6.ip6.redirect=1
The issue happens even if run the command by itself, not launching
aiccu. Trying to launch any applications become impossible at this
point. They just bounce for ever.
Has anyone seen this or is able to explain what is going on? Without
it the machine can't act as a gateway for IPv6 connectivity.
