This is very very strange. 
Linphone uses the getifaddrs() system call to get the list of availlable
network interfaces. I can see no reason why they can be found on one
machine and not the others.
The only explanation I think of is that the linphones running on the 2
machines where IPv6 interfaces are not seen has not been compiled with
IPv6 support. A -DINET6 compile option is set on every file when IPv6
can be enabled.
In order to be sure of you do not have this problem, use the same binary
(the one that works) on the 3 machines. By running configure with
--disable-shared you will get a statically linked program.
Please inform me of your progress.
Thanks
Simon
