dhcpcd - eth0: no IPv6 Routers available

danisanti · 2022-03-31 14:12:07

My machine stopped receiving a IPv6 address to connect to the Internet. It does get an IPv4 address.

I get this message from dhcpcd:

dhcpcd[343]: eth0: no IPv6 Routers available

I have ip6tables stopped and disabled.

My other ArchLinux machine can connect to the same network as this computer and it has an IPv6 address (and an IPv4 address).

I would like this machine to also have an IPv6 address.

How do you manage your network configuration?

I dont have netctl. I do have dhcpcd. Also have avahi-daemon and systemd-resolved. I have systemd-networkd disabled.

EDIT:
I believe I have avahi-daemon not disturbing the retrieval of ip address.

Does your dhcpcd configuration deny IPv6?

If not - is there any kind of firewall running on this machine blocking IPv6 RAs?

It has been solved. The problem was with one of the configurations on the router device. Now it is working, thanks.
