Hello Tony,

Fortunately I do not have that problem.

Another thing that puts me off, is that it is difficult to test something that happens only once or twice a year. For IPv4 I know how to provoke an IP change (change the MAC of the WAN interface) for IPv6 I do not know how to provoke a change of prefix.

 TL>> OK, time to make sure with some ping tests. :D

 MvV>> That of course has been done at the time.

 TL> And the results of those?

Good enough with a large margin to rule that out as the cause of the problem.


Cheers, Michiel
