Welcome!

I'm working as a freelancer in the IT business, running my own company called RMCS.

Everything that has to do with Windows Server, Cisco, Linux, Security and Wireless is my passion!. My daily job is installing new networks, servers, maintenance, security audits but also teaching network engineers to keep their knowledge up-to-date.

If you want to know more about the services I am able to offer you, please check out the "Services" menu-item. My Weblog will tell you everything that i'm working on at the moment.

It's possible to get an IPv6 public address from behind your IPv4 NAT network, and access the internet. To achieve this we need to build a "Teredo" tunnel, what happens is that you get an IPv6 address from a Teredo provider, and everytime you send a IPv6 packet it's being encapsulated in a IPv4 packet.

Let's install it, i'm using Ubuntu 10.04 to achieve this:

sudo apt-get install miredo

Now we need to edit the conf file to change the Teredo server:

sudo vi /etc/miredo.conf

ServerAddress teredo.ipv6.microsoft.com

Restart the service:

sudo /etc/init.d/miredo restart

As you can see by typing in 'ifconfig' you see there's a Teredo interface and it has a public IPv6 address from the Teredo server:

teredo    Link encap:UNSPEC  HWaddr 00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00  
inet6 addr: fe80::ffff:ffff:ffff/64 Scope:Link
inet6 addr: 2001:0:5ef5:73bc:14e4:2389:abe7:8169/32 Scope:Global
UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST  MTU:1280  Metric:1
RX packets:95 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:97 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:500
RX bytes:91890 (91.8 KB)  TX bytes:17118 (17.1 KB)

Let's try a ping and see what happens:

ping6 ipv6.google.com

PING ipv6.google.com(2a00:1450:8006::63) 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 2a00:1450:8006::63: icmp_seq=4 ttl=57 time=274 ms
64 bytes from 2a00:1450:8006::63: icmp_seq=3 ttl=57 time=1293 ms
64 bytes from 2a00:1450:8006::63: icmp_seq=2 ttl=57 time=2292 ms

As you can see we are able to ping the IPv6 address from Google, that's all...you now have full IPv6 connectivity!
