I shouldn’t be allowed to poke around with linux when I’m tired. After setting various things up on my VPS (httpd, postgresql, subversion) I was trying to get apache to work properly with my name based setup (Things weren’t working exactly) so I was poking about various tools and reading the man pages for them etc. But I wasn’t paying attention and forgot the man part of sys-unconfig. Here’s some free advice. Don’t.
Needless to say the box being a VPS (Sorry Paul again!) it has wiped out its network settings and I can no longer access it. I’d die for a IPMI card about now.
And gave AICCU another chance.

Shame I can’t figure out why its not saying connected on my WRT54G and dishing out connectivity that way but this will do for the time being. So I’m gonna have to dig about and see if I can get v6 connectivity to my VPS at XenPlanet. So if anyone has any tips I’d be grateful.

This was taken from my new WRT54GL router about 30 seconds ago. Its nice to see the packet loss report on Sixxs to drop from 100% to 0%
I’ve gone to Sixxs and now requested a /48 now for my home network. Time will tell how this turns out, this is quite a learning experience for me, I never really got into IPv4 that much so might as well start fresh with IPv6!
