I need to setup a PPPoE server for IPv6 on Ubuntu 11.10. I Followed one tutorial in Web. I am able to connect using IPV4.

I was looking for configuring Slackware to use ipv6 but all instruction I found speak about using an ipv6 tunnel that encapsulate ipv6 request into ipv4 packet and send them to an external router that extracts ipv6 request and sends a reply (or, at least, this is what I understood).

Is that necessary? Isn't there a way to configure a pure ipv6 system?

hi guys, I have a problem about ipv6 on F17. My network support ipv6. I add Code: NETWORKING_IPV6=yes to /etc/sysconfig/network. I use Network-Manager to access network.

After I connect the system to network, I can go to ipv6 sites and use transmission to download via ipv6.

I have setup an Nginx server in a machine which have both ipv4 and ipv6 addresses. Currently, its connected to CloudFlare and only use ipv4. I have 1 ipv4 address assigned to the web server.

Now what I want is, to become fully ipv6. Then connect to CloudFlare. So, if an ipv4 user comes to the site, CloudFlare will make sure that he can visit my ipv6 only site!

DNS not working on IPv6 2 years 5 weeks ago

I am trying to get an IPv6 Bind DNS server running on RedHat ES4 Bind version bind-9.2.4-37.el4, but am having mixed results. I can get named to run correctly and I see named listening on my IPv6 address, I can even do a dig to the IPv6 local host address and it returns results.

I cant however get any dig results if I query against the IPv6 address it times out and doesn't return any results.

[ubuntu] IPv6 on Ubuntu 9.10? 3 years 16 weeks ago

Is Ubuntu 9.10 fully IPv6 ready? I notice that command line tools like ping and ssh are treating IPv6 addresses, both with and without the [] characters, as hostnames to be looked up via DNS. Is something else needed to enable IPv6, like special IPv6 versions of packages?

I wonder if I can communicate via IPv6. I know this depends on the ISP. Is there any simple way how to deterimne if my ISP provides IPv6 connection or at least if my router provides this functionality?

If there is not such possibility to use "real" IPv6, what is the best way to simulate it on Ubuntu?

IPv6 Support for Linux 2 years 43 weeks ago

Hi folks, As we all know that most of the ISPs are switching from IPv4 to IPv6 due to several reasons. I have some idea about the IPv6 address format, addressing types and knowledge about Linux. So, I want to configure a system so that it can communicate using IPv6 protocol. Some of the services which I want to use on that system are ping( to itself), ssh(to it self).
