I am not famlair with that one. But...

It says it supports IPv6, so one ay assume that it does.

Can you try to poll my system?

Asll decent routers that support IPv6 have a firewall that blocks unsollicited incoming IPv4 packets. With IPv4 yoi have to explicitly tel the router where to send in incoming packet. (By adding it to the NAT table). With IPv6 you do not tell an incoming packet where to go, that info is already in the IPv6 address. But you must tell the firewall to let it pass.

Sometimes this setting is misnamed "port forwarding".


Cheers, Michiel
