Hello. In the office we only have two public IP addresses, one for a file server and the other for NAT firewall (which is a linux host too). This is not so convenient because it's not possible to access hosts behind firewall without portmaping, and portmaping isn't convenient (e.g. for using tel-conference).
Maybe there's a proxy available that would help you with this?
I read a lot of IPv6 articles but they all seems to be written for very skilled person to read, I still cannot figure out if it is possible to solve our problem (too many portmapping) by using IPv6.
Is it possible the office assign each desktop computer an IPv6 address, and replace NAT with something else, and solve our problem?
If you have an internet provider that offers IPv6 connections, you can certainly give each PC it's own public IPv6 address.
Is it possible to use IPv6 when the ISP don't support IPv6?
Internally it would be, but you wouldn't gain a lot. You would still need NAT'ing and IPv6-IPv4 tunneling.
Is using IPv6 going to make our network slower?
