In case anyone can't load the IPv6 address, it just shows this image: http://cdn.ebaumsworld.com/picture/Napster251/vend-a...

@All
Maybe it's because I have IE10, Win 8, or that I have both? All three links give results indicating that entering a IPv6 address in the URL bar works.

The first is such a link, including the square brackets. The page reached is a picture.

The other two are both IPv6 testers and both reply with a page that includes my IPv6 address and says I should have no problem accessing IPv6 sites.

However this is only possible from PlusNet if the IPv6 address is entered in the URL bar. Domain names for IPv6-only sites are not resolved by the PlusNet DNS servers.

Re: IPv6 surprise


[re: Oliver341] [link to this post]
 
Yes, that's the picture.

The point of the thread is that given the IPv6 address, it is possible to reach the target site even though PlusNet have supposedly not enabled IPv6.

If people on other ISPs are not getting anywhere with my first link, and the other two do not indicate IPv6 sort of capability, the thread was deliberately posted in the PlusNet forum, not in General Chatter, so it wouldn't be too surprising.

Not sure how things are handled on Plusnet, but I use Teredo on Windows 7 to access IPv6 only sites.

So it's possible you are just seeing Windows automatic IPv6 tunneling in action (it's activated by default, have a look at "ipconfig /all").

Here's Teredo in action. At the moment it's automatically picked a he.net relay, but it often picks a bit.nl relay too:

Re: IPv6 surprise


[re: Oliver341] [link to this post]
 
Whoa!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is very odd.

At 1:30 this morning, just before my OP, the two IPv6 tests both reported Toredop tunnelling in use, as you suggest. The non-tbb one also said that Toredo tunnelling should only be used as a last resort.

Both told me my IPv6 address.

Right now, neither tester is doing either of those things. tbb adds that my ISP DNS server appears to have IPv6 access, the other tester says it doesn't. Pasting the IPv6 address from my OP still gets me the the picture with that addess remaining in the URL bar. Not a redirection.

crazy crazy

'Scuse my ignorance but not into IPv6 yet. What with these Toredop & immunicity?

Do you need browser plug-ins to overcome lack of IPv6 capability with your ISP's DNS?

How do you get an IPv6 addy? Does PN allocate you one?

OK, now on Vista. No diff from XP for me; won't do IPV6. It does have:

AND

You might need a registry tweak:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\Dnscache\Parameters

add a DWORD value: AddrConfigControl = 0

Should work ok then, even with hostnames.

Brilliiant for XP. Now does IPv6.

Are the netshs remembered or do I need to do them on every reboot?

But Vista don't work with reg tweak. Does it need rebooting?

Are there some netshs for Vista? I found:

C:\>netsh interface teredo show state
Teredo Parameters
---------------------------------------------
Type : client
Server Name : teredo.ipv6.microsoft.com.
Client Refresh Interval : 30 seconds
Client Port : unspecified
State : offline
Error : general system failure
How can it be put online?

netsh interface teredo set state client didn't do anything.

It's remembered so rebooting will not undo the changes.

I don't remember having to reboot but it can't harm.

I've never needed to play with netsh to get it working (in Windows 7) so I don't know about that.

Are you getting IPv6 sites using domain names, or only raw IPv6 addresses?

I'm an IPv6 tyro. I was just following your orders. I don't know any IPv6 domains.

However the ping -6 given earlier works thus:
C:\>ping -6 www.google.com

Teredo is "best effort", certainly not optimised for performance, more just as a last resort when IPv4 is not available for the remote host.

Doesn't get round the issue if you don't have an IPv6 DNS server. I'm using PlusNet's own ones - I've always used ISP DNS servers with no problems.

Any recommendations? I assume I can just add one to my router ... Hmm, no obvious way to alter or add to them on the PN 582n.

You don't need one, since AAAA records can be fetched from IPv4 DNS servers just fine.

I don't know then. I just loaded Vista in a virtual machine and "ping -6 www.google.com" worked with no system modifications at all.

You may have to do the command a few times though, since it takes Teredo a few seconds to automatically set the tunnel up after the first ipv6 request.

Edit: at some point it seems I did add the AddrConfigControl registry entry to the Vista virtual machine.

by the way if want to keep ipv6 on 24/7 but not affect performance/connectivity, then you can ammend your prefixes in windows so ipv4 has priority.

sort of like this. I got the 2 /96 first which are ipv4.

C:\windows\system32>netsh interface ipv6 show prefixpolicies
Querying active state...

Precedence Label Prefix
---------- ----- --------------------------------
30 4 ::ffff:0:0/96
20 3 ::/96
6 1 ::/0
5 5 2001::/32
3 0 ::1/128
2 2 2002::/16
