I should have also mentioned, although this is somewhat
tangential to main issue - that if you are not using
IPv6, and the default for your distro happens to be on,
you might want to turn it off per interface by configuring
it in the network interface configuration file..

This is distro-specific, but for example, in FC* you'd
place a NETWORKING_IPV6=no in ifcfg-ethN, for instance.

thanks,
