Hello Alex,

On Sunday January 21 2018 22:46, you wrote to me:

Yes, the IPv6 implementation of XP is incomplete (no DHCP6) and it is a bit buggy. It works good enough to run a Fdionet IOv6 node though.

 AS> Win7 will definitely work better with this.

Perhaps it is time to say goodbye to XP?

Thanks, The odd thing is that I can connect to my web server locally via IPv6, but the connection via IPv4 seems to be the prefered one. To connect via IPv6 I must force an IP6 connection by using a host name without an IPv4 address. Maybe the relay introduces a delay that makes IPv4 preferent on the otherwise fast local connection?

 AS> I see you have native IPv6, too:

Yes, since mid 2016.

Indeed, that is a bit of a joke. Every IPv6 addres (2001:1c02::/32) of my provider backresolves to ipv6.dynamic.ziggo.nl.


Cheers, Michiel
