Hi:[code]
[root@vpn2 ~]# uname -a

[root@vpn2 ~]# cat /etc/issue
CentOS release 4.3 (Final)

[root@vpn2 ~]# netstat -atn

[/code]
I can't see full ip address(113.205.168.201) in the output of netstat command.

why?

In some ipage it says there is a relationship with ipv6 output of the ffff string. So how to stop the ipv6?

Thank you!

Welcome to the CentOS fora. The following reading is recommended for new users:

First thing to do is update to 4.8 and a current kernel. Obsolete releases are not supported and you are [b]way[/b] behind on bug-fix and security patches.

As far as IPv6 - best I can point to is the CentOS-5 [url=http://wiki.centos.org/FAQ/CentOS5#head-47912ebdae3b5ac10ff76053ef057c366b421dc4]FAQ #8. How do I disable IPv6?[/url]

Not sure exactly how different CentOS-4 is in that respect as all my systems are at 5.

In CentOS-4, adding a line "alias net-pf-10 off" to /etc/modprobe.conf followed by a reboot is all that's necessary as seen in:
