G-Stress Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 WTH? Please excuse me as I'm a bit intoxicated atm, but I made a few changes one being changing the hostname on one of my boxes and went to ping it by hostname and it replied back with an ipv6 response? I haven't read too much about ipv6 just thought I'd post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr-Protocol Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 I think you may have your responses confused. OS information? Do you have IPv6 setup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infiltrator Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 I don't see anything wrong with the hostname. When I ping my Windows 7 Machine hostname, I get a reply with an IPv6 address. What you can do is, disable the IP6 version on your ethernet adapter and only leave the IPV4 version enabled and restart your computer.

G-Stress Posted December 28, 2010 Author Share Posted December 28, 2010 (edited) buzz is gone now :( it's not a problem I just have never seen that before and was curious. @ Mr-Protocol, It's on a Windows 7 Pro 64-bit box. ipv6 is installed with default settings.

digip Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 (edited) In windows 7(and vista) ipv6 takes priority over v4, and as such, if anything responds with ipv6 you see that first. I disabled it on my windows 7 box, as well as disabled teredo, and also changed some registry settings to make ipv4 higher priority than ipv6. Until all ISP's switch to IPv6 and its been around a few years, I'm avoiding it for lack of relative knowledge at large, security flaws, etc. IPv6 is touted as being more secure, but I take that with a grain of salt, and will wait till we know for sure what we are up against.

G-Stress Posted December 28, 2010 Author Share Posted December 28, 2010 @ digip, What is toredo? I figured that had something to do with ipv6, because I see it listed every ipconfig with ipv6 enabled. Those toredo psuedo tunneling adapters?

Those toredo psuedo tunneling adapters? Its basically Microsoft's implementation of 6 to 4 tunneling. Allows you to reach an IPv6 device behind NAT when the NAT device only speaks IPv4. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teredo_tunneling Edited December 28, 2010 by digip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those toredo psuedo tunneling adapters? Darren did a couple of segments on IPv6 and Teredo a couple of months ago. I'd suggest that you take a look at them. I found them very useful and have done some further research about this whole topic since then. IPv6 is on the horizon (and has been for quite a while!) so we're all going to have to get familiar with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
