IPv6 Test Results Issues - Pls Help

you do not have IPv6 connectivity to the internet

To use Teredo tunneling, there needs to be at Teredo relay server setup by your ISP or by you. This doesn't seem to be the case in your setup.

For now, all you have is LAN-only IPv6 connectivity to any other IPv6 hosts in your own network.

to get internet IPv6 connectivity, You will need to setup a IPv6 router in your network, and find a way to pipe in IPv6 internet access.

Never mind, you already have what I was suggesting you to add.

Post the results of this command: netsh interface ipv6 show

Ok here you go. I have two commands.

I really do not want to search for a IPv6 router now. Do I really have to get a new router that supports IPv6?

Just please explain the exact steps on how to prepare an average home LAN network. Does one have to get a new router which supports IPv6? And in the configuration admin page, how does the setup work in IPv6? Will we still be able to use the 192.168.1.xxx scheme? Thanks in advance.

C:\>netsh interface ipv6 show

The following commands are available:

Commands in this context:
show address - Shows IPv6 addresses.

Yes, I had to get a "new" router, but when I was looking for what to buy, I found out that I could flash my old one to dd-wrt to get ipv6 support. So, it cost me nothing besides a little work.

Try "netsh interface ipv6 show teredo" and, maybe ".... show routes". I don't think you have any ipv6 connectivity, but Teredo should work, anyway. As long as your router is not blocking protocol 41, which is often the case.

So will I have to get a router that support IPv6?

And should I really worry about this right now? Should I be in a panic over this now? Most routers do not even support Ipv6, only a certain types though.

So should I worry?

C:\>netsh interface ipv6 show teredo
Teredo Parameters
-------------------------------------
Type : default
Server Name : default
Client Refresh Interval : default
Client Port : default
State : offline
Error : none

No, you don't need to be in a panic about it now. What kind of router do you have? Maybe it can be flashed like mine. But no, don't worry.

Your Teredo is disabled. You should just try to enable it through netsh. It is probably something like "netsh interface ipv6 set teredo client". Wait a minute before trying to test it.

Then, see if you can surf to ipv6.google.com. If you cannot, try "ping -6 ipv6.google.com". Let us know what happens.

I tried the command and results all passed OK. And I can indeed browse the ipv6.google.com webpage and Google shows up as normal.

Does this mean I have to get a new router or this means I am OK to go with my current router?

Also, how can I do the opposite, like disabling "netsh interface ipv6 set teredo client". I was just trying to "test" this just to be prepared. In other words, I do not want to have it enabled all the time right now. This was only a test.

Test with IPv4 DNS record ok (0.750s)
Test with IPv6 DNS record ok (4.454s) using ipv6 Teredo
Test with Dual Stack DNS record ok (0.890s) using ipv4
Test for Dual Stack DNS and large packet ok (1.797s) using ipv4
Test IPv4 without DNS ok (0.703s) using ipv4
Test IPv6 without DNS ok (1.172s) using ipv6 Teredo
Test IPv6 large packet ok (0.844s) using ipv6 Teredo
Test if your ISP's DNS server uses IPv6 ok (1.828s) using ipv4

netsh interface ipv6 uninstall
netsh interface teredo set state disabled

Yes. Teredo is not the best, but it will do.
