If anyone wants to test ipv6 and cannot get something from their ISP, you can get a tunnel
options: sixxs.net, my favorite, stable for me for the last 4+ years freenet6.net tunnelbroker.net, extremely fast, but requires a static IP, no client needed either i have setup my home net to use ipv6 only, and using a combination of totd and NAT-PT (http://tomicki.net/naptd.download.php) to provide access to ipv4 let me know if anyone needs help -nick On Thu, Feb 10, 2011 at 9:52 PM, Patrick McLean <[email protected]> wrote: > On 10/02/11 09:48 PM, Jeremy wrote: >> On 11-02-10 09:43 PM, Hendrik Boom wrote: >>> On Thu, Feb 10, 2011 at 05:21:17PM -0800, Leslie S Satenstein wrote: >>>> Hi Hendrik >>>> What about all the routers out there?
