Comment on "Leopard and Static IPv6 addresses"

Tue, 19 Jul 2011 09:56:52 -0500

Glad you found the wikispaces docs useful. I wrote them.

I've not seen the SysPrefs IPv6 bugs on 10.5 in a while. Sorry to hear it's still out there. Apple really needs to fix a lot of IPv6 bugs in OS X and iOS.

Comment on "Leopard and Static IPv6 addresses"

Tue, 19 Jul 2011 09:51:49 -0500

The GUI for Mac OS X 10.5 (at least as of my testing with 10.5.8) didn't work to set a static IPv6 address for me. It would never use the IPv6 router, it would prefer IPv6, and get nowhere. Also it switched from a real DHCP address to a broken 169.254.x.x address so trying to configure IPv6 from the GUI broke everything. Bah!

We have disabled SLAAC (IPv6 autoconf) in favor of DHCPv6 here. SLAAC works for Mac OS X; Mac OS X doesn't come with an IPv6 DHCP client (I'm testing Dibbler).

However, these directions https://wikispaces.psu.edu/display/ipv6/General+IPv6+Notes#GeneralIPv6Notes-StaticIPv6addresses did worked for me on both 10.5.8 and 10.6.8 to set static IPv6 addresses.

We keep waiting for IPv6 to be viable but I guess until we run out of IP's under 4 it won't happen,
thanks,
great post

Hi there,
We at Telstra Wireless in Australia are working towards a production trial with IPv6-only handsets, NAT64 and DNS64 soon. Would you like testing IR with IPv6 with us in the future?

I'm trying to push my school to deploy ipv6 over a separate ssid on our wireless network. IPv6 needs to get a push from the college campus. Keep up the good work!!!!

The next milestone will be in 3-6 months when APNIC runs out of IPs. That will really wake some people up.

Finally some hard facts to persuade people to move to IPv6.

Comment on "Two More Gone; IPv4 address space now at 5.5%"

Fri, 06 Aug 2010 16:54:57 -0500

Hello Derek,

I don't think one should substract the "last 5" blocks from the remaining pool when expressing the percentage. Also, there is the "various" pool which according to Geof Huston (http://www.potaroo.net/tools/ipv4/index.html) amounts to some 7,5 /8 blocks. When we add that, there is 8,3% free.

Not that it matters. One thing is for sure, the IPv4 address space is running out in the next two years. I am nagging my ISP at regular intervals, but they keep responding with something to the effect of "no priority". :-(

FYI, the T-Mobile USA IPv6 beta is open to any T-Mobile USA subscriber with an IPv6 Nokia phone. More info at http://groups.google.com/group/tmoipv6beta

Comment on "IPv6 on iPhone"

Tue, 13 Jul 2010 17:39:31 -0500

In their usual not admitting anything style, an Apple engineer acknowledged that they've pretty much changed their mind on DHCPv6, so I'm guessing they'll support it soon.

ipv6.t-mobile.com had a DNS snag, it will be back soon. The real news is IPv6 on Nokia handsets, websites are easy :)

I think this is a great step forward. ISPs have been very lethargic but now T-mobile appears to be the exception. Chapeaux for T-mobile!
