ipv6

[Thufir]

I don't have regular internet access.  I'm reading the fine manual on
static ip's and dhcp with regards to ifconfig.

I notice that ifconfig seems to use, or default to, ipv6.  I have trouble
parsing the address because I'm trying to use addresses like 192.x.x.x but
see ipv6 info in ifconfig.

How can i get ifconfig to "default" to, or at least display, as ipv4 so
that I can read it easier?  or is my question flawed?



Again, I don't have regular internet access so it's no small matter to RTFM
at the moment.



thanks,

Thufir
