Are you ready for IPv6?

[Hyperion]

Are you ready for the switch? Have you already switched?

Already there. If you're using a unix based operating sytem you should be all set. To make sure you can look in /proc/net. You should see /proc/net/if_inet6. If it's not there, load it with modprobe ipv6. To see if your interface is configured for ipv6 run ip from iproute2 or ifconfig:

ip -6 addr show dev eth0 //eth0, eth1, eth2, etc. being your interface

or:

ifconfig

The latter would show you inet6 addr: blahblahblah.
To see if you can look up an ipv6 hostname:

host -t AAAA ipv6.whatever.com // use a sld that you know has a AAAA entry

If you need help (or setting up BIND), let me know.

Yeah I'm using Ubuntu 10.10 on a VM to test out IPv6.
Maybe I should just stop downloading torrents and listen in class from now on.

Or you can keep downloading torrents, stop listening in class and listen to me.

OK! We did a lab on IPv6, but I was more worried about downloading PC GAMES and every episode of DB,DBZ,DBGT.

I know what to do, I'll transfer in the next month or so when I'm done shitting on dumb threads
