Re: [Dorset] IPv6 day are you ready

2011-04-20 Thread StarLion 
 Well, my ISP and router don't support IPv6 but I discovered Miredo (Teredo)
 a while ago. It doesn't seem to work if both ends are using Teredo behind
 IPv4 NAT, but other than that it does allow you to connect to the IPv6
 internet.

 In Ubuntu (and presumably Debian?) IPv6 support is as easy as 'apt-get
 install miredo'. It seems to be made of magic as it sets its self up
 automatically in seconds. I've done this on all of my Linux machines now.

 With Miredo I got 10/10 and 9/10 because my ISP's DNS server doesn't support
 IPv6.


Haven't looked into Miredo on my Arch Linux, but I did come across
this article on the Arch Wiki that some may also find useful.

I haven't had the chance to try it myself yet, but will do just as
soon as my kernel finishes compiling.

Can anyone recommend a suitable wifi-enabled ADSL router for IPV6?
The only one I've used was a 2Wire router, a long time ago. I think BT 
were doing an IPv6 test and I was surprised to find I got a real IPv6 
address on it.


Your best bet might be something which you can run OpenWRT on. Only 
trouble is their list of supported hardware doesn't seem to include 
anything which does ADSL, so you would have to get an ethernet (or 
'cable') router and an ethernet ADSL modem.
I've got a D-Link DIR-825 running OpenWRT and it was fairly easy to 
install. I don't have it connected to ADSL though.
