The only relevant information there seems to be in #3 - complaints about syntax errors in your configuration. Try to use something closer to the [url=http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Deployment_Guide/s1-dhcp_for_ipv6_dhcpv6.html]upstream example[/url] which for one thing has no semicolon after the closing brace.

For a start, it's domain-name-server[b]s[/b] not domain-name-server and in any case I think that option is for IPv4 networks not ipv6. [b]Phi[/b]l's pointer to the upstream example looks good.

If you need to post the error messages again, please edit them and restrict them only to those that look like they may be relevant to the problem = probably `grep dhcpd /var/log/messages-yyymmdd` would be more useful!

Thanks.

Not sure how to answer that. I'm not going to write a [url=http://www.google.com/search?q=~tutorial+OR+~howto+DHCP+IPv6&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&safe=active]tutorial on DHCP[/url] - there are plenty out there in google-land already. It seems pretty obvious to me, so please ask specific questions about what you [b]don't[/b] understand after checking out some of that material.

hi, i tried to configure somethin' similar to the upstream

[code]
subnet6 2001:470:36:270::/64 {
range6 2001:470:36:270::129 2001:470:36:270::254;
option dhcp6.name-servers 2001:470:35:270::2;
option dhcp6.domain-search "fstuinjkt.net";
} [/code]

but it still failed!

here are my network details:

And what were the symptoms, errors, and/or log entries from the failure? I don't see any of your subnets that seem to match the DHCP server configuration 2001:470:36:... but that may just be my ignorance with respect to IPv6.
