        I don't know there is a setting for Intel. It just works. Do you have DHCPv6 configured on the WAN port?

        I haven't lost my mind. It's around here...somewhere...

            Capture the full DHCPv6 sequence and post the capture file here.

                  Did you try to post the actual capture file? That's what I need and many others have posted them.

                      Did you upload the original file, with cap extension? Or did you try to zip it or something.

                      Here's an example, which can be examined with Wireshark:

                      DHCPv6-PD.cap

                      You should be able to upload .cap, .pcap or .pcapng files.

                          Well, I guess you'll have to talk to the system admins. When I uploaded that file yesterday, I just dragged it from the directory where I have saved it to the browser and it just worked. At one time there was an issue where the files created by Packet Capture wouldn't upload, until the suffix was changes, but that cleared years ago.

                              What's that supposed to tell me? I asked for the DHCPv6 capture file. Also, there's no need to hide link local addresses. They're irrelevant off the local LAN.

                                  that's utter nonsense. Development versions break and aren't ready for production use. There's heavy work adapting to the new FreeBSD14 base and because you don't get an answer for 4 days or can supply the file (upload it to another site for heavens sake) you get pissed and get angry? Wow.

                                    I have often uploaded capture files, so you have some other issue. In fact, I uploaded one just to show you I could, after you said you couldn't. Even if you can't, there's always Google drive, where you could leave it and provide a public link so we can get it.
