Handy IPv6 traceroute site

This is a handy IPv6 traceroute site: http://www.whatismyipv6.net/?s=IPv6_traceroute

BTW: I believe traceroutes with teredo / miredo IPv6 address do a different "to" than "return" trace.

Below is a trace with my sixxs IPv6 connectivity.

Easy IPv6 on Mac OS X: one step

Easy, one step procedure to get IPv6 connectivity on you MacOSX: go to http://www.deepdarc.com/2007/02/21/miredo-osx/ or download http://www.deepdarc.com/miredo-osx-prerelease2.pkg.zip directly, and install it.

That's it. You should now be able to visit ipv6.google.com and ... download from news.ipv6.eweka.nl

IPv6-enabled internal print server for Epson printers: SEH PS107

I don't know if this is the first IPv6-enabled internal print server at all, but according to this press release, the SEH PS107 is the first IPv6-enabled internal print server worldwide for all Epson printers with Type B port.


The PS107 print server is available as of now for 267 Euro (excluding VAT).

Easy IPv6 on Ubuntu Linux: one step

Getting IPv6 connectivity on Ubuntu Linux is easy:

          sudo apt-get install miredo



That's it! The "ifconfig' should now show a teredo interface with your 2001:-IPv6-address.

Surf to http://www.whatismyipv6.net/ to check your IPv6 connectivity and see your IPv6 address.

Or surf to http://ipv6.google.com/ : you should see the dancing Google logo.

BTW: miredo is the open source implementation of teredo.

Breaking News: Vista has got an advantage!!!

I just discoverd the first (and only?) advantage of Windows Vista: Vista has IPv6 enabled by default, via Teredo. Only IPv6 resolving seems disabled, probably to avoid unmeant IPv6 usage. ;-)

Anyway: with Firefox on Vista I'm able to visit http://[2001:4860:0:1001::68]/ and search. Cool!

(http://[2001:4860:0:1001::68]/ is the litteral IPv6 name for http://ipv6.google.com/)

Please note: Maybe you have to copy-paste the http://[2001:4860:0:1001::68]/ by hand.


Oh wait: Microsoft says "Yes (the Teredo component is enabled but might be active or inactive, depending on the computer's configuration)", so YMMV. Please post results in the comments: can you visit http://[2001:4860:0:1001::68]/ from your Vista machine?


You can also try http://[2001:610:510:0:192:42:113:60]/ (which is the litteral name for http://www.ipv6.surfnet.nl/) and look at the right lower corner to find out your own IPv6 address: "You are accessing this server over IPv6 from 2001:0:d5c7:a2ca:302a:c6....".

Bravo Vista!

Recipe voor free usenet downloads

Recipe voor free usenet downloads, of course via IPv6:

1) Get free IPv6 access via http://www.sixxs.net/ or freenet6 / go6. Or you could try 6to4 or Teredo
2) Get the free usenet / newsgroup downloader SABnzbd, which is IPv6 enabled and works on Linux, MacOSX and Windows.
3) Fill out "news.ipv6.eweka.nl" as the newsserver
4) Use http://www.binsearch.info/ as search engine for NZBs. Tip: use an advanced search like this to find DVD-size content with NL subs or other NL specs.
5) Start downloading

Samba ("Windows") Share over IPv6

Ubuntu 8.10 has Samba 3.2, which does sharing over IPv6.

So Arjan and I tested it: start file manager Nautilus, right-click the directory you want to share and ... that's it.

You can now connect using "smbclient \\\\sand-bla.blaburg.net\\grabbelton" or a browser, like Konqueror (see screendump) or Nautilus (Connect to Server, or smb://sand-bla.blaburg.net/grabbelton/)

As we haven't got any Windows, we can't test Windows' ability to use this IPv6-only share.
