Unfortunately, I only have Scope:Link entries on my machines. I don't see any mention of Scope:Global even on my server. > I have real IPv6 connectivity through my ISP Clearrate that gets its > allocation from Verizon.

The information I got from sixxs was: ------- Tunnel Id : T20165 PoP Name : iedub01 (ie.heanet [AS1213]) Your Location : Dun Laoghaire, ie SixXS IPv6 : 2001:770:100:134::1/64 Your IPv6 : 2001:770:100:134::2/64 SixXS IPv4 : 193.1.31.74 Tunnel Type : Static (Proto-41) Your IPv4 : 86.43.71.228 ------- On starting aiccu I got the message ------- Starting AICCU (Automatic IPv6 Connectivity Configuration Utility) services: Tunnel Information for T20165: POP Id : iedub01 IPv6 Local : 2001:770:100:134::2/64 IPv6 Remote : 2001:770:100:134::1/64 Tunnel Type : 6in4-static Adminstate : enabled Userstate : enabled ------- >> it seems I have to wait until shorewall6 comes along for Centos, >> which apparently needs a more recent kernel and iptables >> than currently running under Centos, according to >> <http://www.shorewall.net/IPv6Support.html>. > Hold your breath.

As will be apparent, I am more or less completely at sea with IPv6 - I'm stumbling in the dark. Basically, I would like a very simple document (preferably not starting with 10 pages on the history of IPv6, and a lecture on the size of 2^128) which explains eg the roles of aiccu and radvd in terms of a home network with a fixed IPv4 address, and what is meant by Scope:Link and Scope:Global, etc. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
