Dear All, After reading the NATPT Kame manual I'got the Idea that it is possible to start the communications on IPv4 side to IPv6 side.
Then, I've configured the natpt.conf file for that and I can ping to an IPv4 virtual address that represents an IPv6 real host, so I conclude that I can initiate the communications on IPv4 side.

IPv6/IPv4 addresses are just not mappable bidirectionally. I know that with DSTM there where at least plans to tackle the problem of incorporating this feature somehow. Don't know what became of it and also don't really know, how this should/could be done. regards, Tina -- JOIN - IP Version 6 in the WiN Tina Strauf A DFN project Westfaelische Wilhelms-Universitaet Muenster http://www.join.uni-muenster.de Zentrum fuer Informationsverarbeitung Team: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Roentgenstrasse 9-13 Priv: [EMAIL PROTECTED] D-48149 Muenster / Germany GPG-/PGP-Key-ID: 923F61D0 Fon: +49 251 83 31833, Fax: +49 251 83 31653 "Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one."
