IPv6

Just for chuckles, and to see if I could see the dancing kami (and I couldn't--connection refused) I decided to turn on IPv6 on my laptop, as detailed here. While it worked, alas there was no dancing, since the remote server refused connection. Still, traceroute6 did show that I could get there, which was cool. I think I'll go enable IPv6 on all the macs here. Hopefully it'll stick across reboots. Enabling it on the Linux box, running 2.2.20, might be a bit more interesting, but still... It was nifty to see that it worked. I really ought to go get some V6 addresses for the server and get DNS handing them out, if that works. (I'm still not entirely sure that the IPv6 packets are actually going anywhere, and that I'm not just tunneling over IPv4--I haven't looked into v6 to see how things are supposed to work) Posted by Dan at February 13, 2003 12:10 PM | TrackBack (0)

You are tunnelling over IPv4. Probably over .ch or something silly like that.
