What kind of network card + driver are you using?
Intel Pro/100, driver is e100 (via lsmod)
Ok.
Does 'rmmod ipv6' help?
ipv6 is not loaded
Are you really sure? Because:
What's the output of 'ip addr show'?
for eth0 last two line: inet 169.254.123.93/16 scope link eth0 inet 141.209.169/84/24 brd 141.209.169.255 scope global eth0 (the last line is corrct but is not shown by ifconfig eth0)
.. that's what I suspected. ifconfig isn't that trustable as ip. ;( And the behaviour seems to result from a bug either in the TCP/IP-stack with the sit0-device (IPv6-in-IPv4) or at ifconfig itself. So make sure ipv6 isn't present [sudo rmmod -f ipv6].
(We will take a closer look at the problem anyway and maybe just deactivate the ipv6-module per default.)
I also see problems with CUPS system (for adding a local printer) # /etc/init.d/cupsys start starts the daemon
I can connect to this server using URL: http://localhost:631/ as soon as add a printer is chosen, the server dies!
Hm, interesting. Does "only" CUPS die or the whole grml-system? Have you set a password for user root before activating CUPS? Did you ever see the user+password dialog when selecting "Add printer"?
Thanks for reporting && regards, -mika-
