hi all, i'm getting this error initializing the loopback device for ipv6. the error message is in6_ifattach_loopback: failed to configure the loopback address on lo0 (errno=55). errno=55 is ENOBUFS, but i can get the loopback device up manually doing sudo ifconfig lo0 inet6 ::1 up also if i cause a forced shutdown of the system, the loopback device is setup normally. should i increase the number of mbufs for my system, it's a ti book 667. the output of netstat -mb in both cases when loopback's been configured normally and when it fails are the same : 69 mbufs in use: 66 mbufs allocated to data 2 mbufs allocated to socket names and addresses 1 mbufs allocated to Appletalk data blocks 79/202 mbuf clusters in use 421 Kbytes allocated to network (41% in use) 0 requests for memory denied 0 requests for memory delayed 0 calls to protocol drain routines does anyone else have the same problem ? or know what's happening here ? thanks, vasisht --------------------------------------------------------------------- Life is complex: it has real and imaginary components _______________________________________________ darwin-kernel mailing list | darwin-kernel@lists.apple.com Help/Unsubscribe/Archives: http://www.lists.apple.com/mailman/listinfo/darwin-kernel Do not post admin requests to the list.
