Hi
In our machine we are having 3 NICs. Out of 3 one is getting the ips from DHCP server and others are having static ip with preffered DNS address.

in all the NICs IPv6 is disabled . when i am doing the self ping i am getting the reply over ipv6 . So here question is :

really disabling the ipv6 is applicable on my system seems no .

any thought !!
