Description of problem: This web site www.ea.financial-net.com will time out when I try to connnect when using Mageia 4 and connected directly to my Cable Modem. If I move the same system to behind a Mageia 4 Firewall that is connected to the same cable modem it connect as it should. Windows connects every time. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: every time I connect no matter which browser i use. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Connect a system directly to a cable modem and try to connect 2. Move same system to a machine that shares internet and now you can connect! 3. Reproducible: Steps to Reproduce:
even from a server it doesn't work

Yep! Only the system connected directly to the internet is affected. All the client machines have no problem.
Robert, it sounds like an issue with the cable modem (not advertising the IPv6 prefix properly maybe?) and not an issue with Mageia. Given how the same machine works properly when connected via another Mageia box suggests that the network settings on that other Mageia box are properly configured for IPv6 networking. I think this is a configuration issue and not a Mageia one. Please reopen in case you disagree.

This is happing on 2 different machine with 2 different cable compines and 2 different modems. If it were the modem it wouldn't work on any machine behind it.
Feel free to reopen the bug report then.
Robert, As I understand it, the following situation does not give you working IPv6: Mageia desktop --> Cable Modem --> Internet While this one does: Mageia desktop --> Mageia firewall box --> Cable Modem --> Internet Is this correct? If yes, it is indicative that the Mageia desktop is working properly with IPv6 (2nd situation). The variance is the device which you are connected to. I therefor concluded that the Mageia firewall box does something (could be DHCPv6, could be radvd, ...) that the Cable Modem does not and which allows the IPv6 connection to be properly configured on the desktop. Can you paste in this report the output of /sbin/ifconfig on the desktop, for both situations given above? If you can also provide the output of the same for the firewall machine, that might also help further.
