Did they not have IPv4 available too? Of course, you shouldn't need a dynamic DNS with IPv6, as your prefix should be static and you point the DNS to the MAC based addresses.
Can't resist to reply on that : The big two ISP's here in Belgium (Proximus and Telenet) do *NOT* provide a static prefix (at least to consumers). I asked when they would, they answered they won't do it. Now I'm back at EDPnet (a smaller ISP) which did provide a fixed prefix in the past. I don't know if that still is the case, though. I'll have to ask.

Hi, I just asked. They state : since I have a dynamic ipv4-address, I have also a dynamic ipv6 prefix. But then I rebooted my modem. I got a new ipv4 address, but the ipv6 prefix is the same. It's also the same prefix since I got ipv6 a few weeks ago. So, what am I to believe ?
I wouldn't be surprised if they're using DUID to keep your prefix consistent. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
