First off, sorry for length of this. Just wanted to include all necessary information I could think of. I've got an account at tunnelbroker.net and a Linksys WRT54G-TM router with Firmware: DD-WRT v24-sp2 (10/10/09) mega. IPv6 works perfectly on my Acer Aspire One netbook running Fedora 14 and on my Toshiba notebook running Vista. Unfortunately it doesn't do so well on the box I do most of my work on running OpenBSD 4.8:

And the turtle dances. Other sites respond to this format too in most instances.

You appear to have both IPv4 and IPv6 internet working. If a publisher publishes to IPv6, your browser will connect using IPv6. Note: Your browser appears to prefer IPv4 over IPv6 when given the choice. This may in the future affect the accuracy of sites who guess at your location. Your readiness scores 10/10 for your IPv4 stability and readiness, when publishers offer both IPv4 and IPv6 10/10 for your IPv6 stability and readiness, when publishers are forced to go IPv6 only Side note on the above report pertaining to IPv4 preference: I've got the strings set right in Seamonkey and Firefox: network.dns.disableIPv6 default boolean false network.dns.ipv4OnlyDomains default string (blank here) Despite what the above report says, lots of sites either revert to IPv4 like www.sixxs.net which says I'm not running IPv6, or like with www.kame.net where the turtle doesn't dance. In lots of instances, possibly on sites only running IPv6, the site won't load at all. And I've tried it after comletely disabling my firewall too. Still the same result. I've tried temporarily allowing all in /etc/hosts.allow and commented out what I had in /etc/hosts.deny but it didn't help the situation. Any light shed on this problem greatly appreciated. According to the IPv4 Exhaustion Counter at http://inetcore.com/project/ipv4ec/index_en.html we've got 99 days left until IPv4 address space exhaustion. I just hate to be the 'One Geek (Wannabe) Left Behind'. ;) Denny White -- =============================================================== Denny White - denny...@cableone.net GnuPG key : 0x1644E79A | http://wwwkeys.de.pgp.net Fingerprint: D0A9 AD44 1F10 E09E 0E67 EC25 CB44 F2E5 1644 E79A =============================================================== () ASCII ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments ===============================================================
