Re: [Dorset] IPv6 day are you ready
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. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/IPv6_-_6in4_Tunnel I haven't had the chance to try it myself yet, but will do just as soon as my kernel finishes compiling. -- 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

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. -- 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

Hi Andrew, With Miredo I got 10/10 and 9/10 because my ISP's DNS server doesn't support IPv6. Do you get that elusive last point if you switch to 8.8.4.4 and/or 8.8.8.8?
