Getting Started With IPv6

Getting IPv6 up and running

Install the miredo package:
$ sudo apt-get install miredo

After this command, you should see an IPv6 address beginning with "2001:0:" in your network settings (use 'ifconfig'). If so, you're connected to the IPv6 world.

Remove miredo system startup links:
$ sudo update-rc.d -f miredo remove

Usage:

$ sudo /etc/init.d/miredo {start|stop|restart|reload|force-reload}

If miredo is running you should have another interface called "teredo".
You can display it with the following command:

$ ifconfig teredo

To test if you can reach the IPv6 network, try the following:
carnal0wnage ~: ping6 ipv6.google.com PING ipv6.google.com(iw-in-x63.1e100.net) 56 data bytes 64 bytes from iw-in-x63.1e100.net: icmp_seq=1 ttl=55 time=284 ms 64 bytes from iw-in-x63.1e100.net: icmp_seq=4 ttl=55 time=100 ms 64 bytes from iw-in-x63.1e100.net: icmp_seq=5 ttl=55 time=108 ms --- ipv6.google.com ping statistics --- 7 packets transmitted, 3 received, 57% packet loss, time 6000ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 100.005/164.009/284.016/84.920 m

Changing teredo server:

sudo vi /etc/miredo.conf ServerAddress teredo.ipv6.microsoft.com sudo /etc/init.d/miredo restart


Windows XP

Install
Open the Terminal with Start -> Run -> cmd

netsh interface ipv6 install netsh interface ipv6 set teredo client

Uninstall

netsh interface ipv6 uninstall

Vista

Install
IPV6 and Teredo is enabled per default. You can get into the settings by going into the preferences for an network interface. "Obtain an IPv6 address automatically" should do the trick.

Uninstall
Add this registry value ("DWORD") set to 0xFF (long line, double-click, and copy):

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip6\Parameters\DisabledComponents

Or save the two lines in a .reg file and double-click it:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip6\Parameters] "DisabledComponents"=dword:000000ff

You can also go to the interface properties of an network interface and deselect the IPv6 protocol for that interface. To enable IPv6 again, replace dword:000000ff above with dword:00000000.
