[Dorset] IPV6 article in Daily Telegraph
After reading this article in the telegraph today http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/internet/8126181/UK-will-run-out-of-web-addresses-by-2012.html About Vint Cerf saying that the Uk will run out of IP (V4) addresses by 2012, I wondered if my Router would support IPV6 on the Internet Side. Will yours? I use a 3Com Wireless router.

Will yours? My Linksys WAG160 doesn't support it. You have to be careful about predicting when ipv4 addresses will run out as CIDR has been so successful, it could last another 10 years. I suspect if ipv6 was about to be rolled out, all routers will have FW updates to support it.

Re: [Dorset] dorset Digest, Vol 358, Issue 8
I have recently purchased an Acer Aspire 5740 which came with Windoz7 but had problems with the latest updates. Therefore, reloaded the disk with the latest Mint Linux 64bit and it is really good. (I spent a short time working with a local laptop repair company and found that the modern Acer systems were one of the most reliable laptops they didn't have them in for repair). I did try the Ultimate Edition 2.7 Linux which is rather nice, but had problems with flash on 64bit. I like the Window manager in Mint and the Linux is Ubuntu based. I am really pleased with this system. -- (glad to know that Andy Paterson is in your group, we used to work together) Brian M. -- 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

Hi Brian, (glad to know that Andy Paterson is in your group, we used to work together) I used to work with Andy too. Including you there's at least four of us that used to work at that site on the list.

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. At all. -- Andrew. -- 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'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
Re: [Dorset] Possible Bournemouth Meeting place
Hi, Peter Merchant wrote: I asked at the Student Union today, and anyone can go and use the student union pub. There are two rooms - Dylans and a small offshoot called the Loft. If you want to book the room for a private meeting, it costs, but then you have exclusive use of the room. If the bar in the Loft is not manned, then you pop into Dylans to get your drinks. Food available until mid-evening - I don't think these students like late nights. The Loft is quieter than Dylans, and sometimes they don't even pipe the music/noise in. As long as the room isn't booked for something else, it could be a runner. And Plenty of free parking in the evening. Thanks for finding out about that. Robert, do you know what the deal is with BUNIX getting a room at the Uni, and what facilities are on offer? Could DLUG do similar, even if for the odd daytime weekend meet as public transport during the evening is lacking?
