[atlas] My probe's not doin' IPv6

Thanks - yes, Cox is my ISP.  But I think all’s well in the ISP IPv6 set up.

I have active IPv6 for other machines in the house. I can ’ssh -6' out of my house using a laptop to a remote VM, over v6.  Checking other devices, a phone on the house wi-fi has an IPv6 address, same /64 prefix as the laptop.  Ditto for a wired desktop.  I didn’t look at everything (that would take all night).

I mention the “wired desktop” as it is “wired" to the same physical ethernet hub as the probe, then wired up to the ISP CPE, etc.

Is it possible that the probe isn’t set up to ask for a v6 address?  It seems to be playing the odd-ball here, all the other devices do IPv6.

Each one of those has to be capable and have it enabled for the Atlas device to get an IPV6 address.  If they are, then Cox would be the next one to contact.

It was off-line 29 minutes earlier today (the notice made me think to look), but never off line more than 10 minutes since mid-July.  There’s one stretch of 34d+ of continuous uptime. Run-of-the-mill home connection via a cableTV company.
