I guess you mean  'C-x C-f /-:|sudo::' (w/o typing the apostrophes)

I assume your init.el is the one you have presented:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(require 'tramp)
(setq tramp-default-method "ssh")
(setq tramp-default-host "192.168.2.6")
(setq tramp-save-ad-hoc-proxies t)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Does the same error happen if you *don't* set tramp-save-ad-hoc-proxies?

Does the same error happen if you open 'C-x C-f /ssh:192.168.2.6|sudo::'?
