The learning curve is not that steep. Just do it.
Per, past time for me to try this.
My ISP is Comcast and they are said to have good IPv6.
I have a Netgear R6900 router.
I have a Leap 42.2 test machine cat5 connected to it.
Hi Greg, soonds good.
I just went into the router's advanced settings and told it to auto-detect IPv6 (previously disabled). It says I now have a WAN and LAN IPv6 address for the router (shockingly easily done).
Yast says I have IPv6 enabled (since install I assume).
ifconfig shows I have 2 global IPv6 addresses for eth0 (why 2?)
Could you post output from "ip addr"? Anyway, having multiple IPv6 addresses is normal and just one of those new things you will get used to. a) a link-local address, fe80:: b) a public ipv6 address.
What next? How do I test?
Try "ping -6 google.com". Next point your browser to http://test-ipv6.com/ or http://testipv6.jessen.ch/ You can also have a look at the routing table "ip -6 route show". -- Per Jessen, Zürich (24.0°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - your free DNS host, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
