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. As IPv6 doesn't do NAT, miredo gives you an IPv6 address which is visible to the whole world, and therefore needs fire-walling. I know there's plain ip6tables, but can people recommend an easy-to-use system for maintaining firewalls? I've been using firehol, but the 'latest news' on its web-page was in 2008, and it doesn't do IPv6. cheers Chris -- Chris Dennis cgden...@btinternet.com Fordingbridge, Hampshire, UK -- Next meeting: Blandford Forum, Wednesday 2011-05-04 20:00 Meets, Mailing list, IRC, LinkedIn, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ How to Report Bugs Effectively: http://goo.gl/4Xue

You're intentionally prefering complex setups that can take your packets through further routes, and through locations you have nobody to complain to when they break. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teredo_tunneling http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb457011.aspx Is that true? Do teredo/miredo make connections more complicated for IPv4 addresses? If your only IPv6 connection is via Teredo, and if the site you are trying to reach supports both IPv4 and IPv6, and if your software prefers IPv6 over IPv4 then yes, it will send the connection via Teredo rather than directly by IPv4. If the site is IPv4 only then no, it won't be more complicated. If the site is IPv6 only then it is via Teredo or nothing. -- Andrew. -- Next meeting: Blandford Forum, Wednesday 2011-05-04 20:00 Meets, Mailing list, IRC, LinkedIn, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ How to Report Bugs Effectively: http://goo.gl/4Xue
