In article bje@ripco.com says... > Honesty though, I've never seen anyone mention this as an ipv6 problem, > thus, this probably isn't the same thing as Anderson is seeing but sounds > related It does sound related and perhaps the reason ipv6 hasn't been a problem is that hardly anyone uses it yet most all devices run some kind of ipv6 stack, maybe for testing and/or compatibility reasons. Maybe people who use MacBooks use a wifi product made by Apple that won't have this problem. I went back to check the October and November incidents and they're both ipv6 as well. I had another incident yesterday from the same neighbor who probably has no idea why she can't use my open wifi. Something weird might be going on with how the switches on the APs handle this type of ipv6 multicast but I don't want to get into that here. I wish I could simply turn off ipv6 but on three different manufacturers of the el cheapo APs, none give me this option. In my humble opinion, in these modern times with so many open wifis and people using untrusted networks, multicast should never emanate from any device except for UDP bootp to get an IP address. On trusted private networks that have the services these devices want then fine, multicast away. The default should be off.
