Mine does, Cisco 877W looks like OpenWRT based routers will support it if your router supports OpenWRT or its derivatives I would think most routers will need a firmware update to support ipv6 AFAIK, I don't think mine supports IPv6 or OpenWRT. A Netgear DG834PN modem router... it's served me well though, and given that it was a round £100 with two free USB wireless adaptors and all the cables needed, it wasn't a bad deal. The only down-side I have with Netgear stuff is that their wireless adaptors don't seem to have any uniform versioning system... -- Next meeting: Somewhere quiet, Bournemouth, ???day 2010-12-?? 20:00 Meets, Mailing list, IRC, LinkedIn, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ How to Report Bugs Effectively: http://goo.gl/4Xue

Re: [Dorset] IPV6 article in Daily Telegraph
Anyone know of any ISPs in the UK that support IPv6? ~Dan To my knowledge, none of them do. I don't think any ISP anywhere does, for that matter. Switching from v4 to v6 isn't going to be a simple matter - most end-users won't understand, and will probably be left with limited online capabilities unless something's done to keep older systems backward-compatible. -- Next meeting: Somewhere quiet, Bournemouth, ???day 2010-12-?? 20:00 Meets, Mailing list, IRC, LinkedIn, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ How to Report Bugs Effectively: http://goo.gl/4Xue

I don't think any ISP anywhere does, for that matter. I talked to some guy with IPv6 - I can't remember, but I know some ISPs do. I was testing others' IPv6 connectivity as I had a Miredo tunnel to give me a global address. -- Next meeting: Somewhere quiet, Bournemouth, ???day 2010-12-?? 20:00 Meets, Mailing list, IRC, LinkedIn, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ How to Report Bugs Effectively: http://goo.gl/4Xue

Will yours? I use a 3Com Wireless router. I have a D-Link DIR-825 running OpenWRT which does IPv6. All devices which you can run OpenWRT on should have IPv6. But I'm not using it as a router and my ISP doesn't do IPv6 yet. This isn't an ADSL router though, I'd need another device to actually use it as an internet router. My ADSL router is a Netgear DG834Gv3 which, good as it is, doesn't support IPv6 and OpenWRT hasn't been ported to it. I used a 2wire router a few years ago which was on some BT internet connection (they have so many names for their internet services it's hard to keep track!) and not only did the router support IPv6 but my laptop got an IPv6 address, which worked! I'm not sure if that was a testing phase at BT or what though. The other day I installed Windows 7 in a kvm virtual machine, using kvm's default networking setup, and somehow Windows managed to get a real routable IPv6 address! I'm not sure how it did that as there's no IPv6 on my network at all. Or was it kvm? I'd love to know how that happened. I then re-booted the VM and since that Windows networking hasn't worked.

I'm not sure how it did that as there's no IPv6 on my network at all Windows 7 uses Teredo tunneling by default, which gives you a tunnel to an IPv4 server with an IPv6 connection to get you the IPv6 tunneled all the way. However, only apps designed for it will work with it in Windows. So no ipv6.google.com in the browser. You can get free software for the protocol by installing the Miredo package and it will work the same, except give you a network virtual device called teredo which it tunnels all IPv6 traffic through, and you CAN get ipv6.google.com! -- Next meeting: Somewhere quiet, Bournemouth, ???day 2010-12-?? 20:00 Meets, Mailing list, IRC, LinkedIn, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ How to Report Bugs Effectively: http://goo.gl/4Xue
