Hello there.
I installed 5.2.1-RC2 through FTP and I noticed that there was a long
delay between sysinstall reported that it is trying to resolv FTP
hostname and this hostname is actually resolving. During the
installation I answered "No" to following two questions:
Do you want to try IPv6 configuration of the interface?
Do you want to try DHCP configuration of the interface?
Then I configured the NIC manually with following parameters:
Host: localhost
IPv4 Gateway: 192.168.1.1
Name server: 192.114.47.4
IPv4 address: 192.168.1.4
Netmask: 255.255.255.0
This is the topology of my network:
[Internet]---[ISP and 192.114.47.4]--ADSL--[192.168.1.1]---[192.168.1.4]
I ran Ethereal on the 192.168.1.1 host and this is a short summary of
this running:

Why there was this delay and is it possibly to fix it?
Why IPv6/ICMPv6 is used although I didn't configure the NIC with IPv6?
