Hello Markus,

On Wednesday July 30 2014 18:36, you wrote to me:

Of course. Disabeling or shielding off ping is considered a safety measure by some, but that idea is not shared by the professionals and considered of no added value when one is running servers. So I would expect a server run by Microsoft to respond to a ping.

Well, we are past the first half of 2014, so maybe they have indeed switched them off. I would have expected an announcement if they actually had though...

 MR> Be patient! ;) You'll get native IPv6 sooner or later. No worries!

I know I will get it sooner or later. One way or another. But my patience is really challenged. There is some hope though. My ISP runs its own speedtest: speedtest.ziggo.nl. Up to about a month ago, it was IPv4 only. But now there are two versions: speedtest6.ziggo.nl and speedtest4.ziggo.nl.

If you call speedtest.ziggo.nl from an IPv4 only client, it is a it ever was. If you call it from a dual stack client, you get the IPv6 version which has a field to click on for the IPv4 version.

Also their webiste www.ziggo.nl has an IPv6 address.

So /something/ is happening...


Cheers, Michiel
