Now what was I thinking.  Oh, wait.  I wasn't thinking.  There was the 
problem right there.  I hadn't enabled any of the IPv6 stuff in the 
kernel.  Jeeez, what a idiot.  I haven't even thought of the kernel 
settings. < sighs >

Anyway, I enabled a lot of stuff in the kernel and will reboot at some 
point and test again.  I'm not sure when I will be rebooting tho.
