  • IPv6 Update

    From Ray Quinn@1:2320/100 to All on Wed May 3 20:42:20 2017
    I gave up trying to use my AT&T "native" IPv6. It worked outbound, but not inbound.

    I have started using a tunnel from Hurricane Electric, or he.net, and it
    seems to be working just fine. I have had success polling IPv6 addresses
    using binkd and have a port check shows that the incoming port shows open as well.

    I would like some confirmation, if possible. You can find my information in
    my Origin line.

    OK...

    I have started using a tunnel from Hurricane Electric, or he.net, and
    it seems to be working just fine. I have had success polling IPv6 addresses using binkd and have a port check shows that the incoming
    port shows open as well.

    Check!

    Same here. I called my ISP and they are changing the IPv6 address about
    once an hour for some reason. There is a way to get a static from them,
    I just have to get a hold of the right person in tech support. (That's what
    I was told... I swear)

    In the meantime I wait. ;)

    That will be hard to keep up with a dyndns service.

    But you are running Irex, which does not and never will support IPv6, so you will have to say goodby to Irex anyway if you want to join the Fidonet IPv6 club...

    I have an IPv6 system on alternative ports on another platform that runs mbsebbse.
