Possible minor problems with DNS setup will require further investigation
Linux
Solaris
Express Gate on Asus netbook
Android 2.3.3
Linux problem seems to be a lack of ipv6 DNS nameserver entries in resolv.conf., I suspect this is also the case for Express Gate & Android.
Solaris problem was a lack of ipv6 DNS nameserver entries in /etc/resolv.conf, I added nameserver 2001:470:20::2 as the first line.
Do NOT appear to be ipv6 capable
Pure Evoke Flow radio
Panasonic TV
Wii

Our caching DNS servers don't yet support IPv6, RADIUS should give you the Hurricane Electric DNS server, which may be worth specifying if you're having issues:
2001:470:20::2
This should return a AAAA record if one exists.

Can you share your settings brueton?
I've got mine how i think should work, but it isn't getting an IPv6 address assigned

Will try and do a better job of this tomorrow morning. Need to find the best format in which to present the setup.
I made very few changes from the default.
Hope this is enough for you to be going on with.

I will try upgrading the router to 1.06d, did you download it from the au site?

Re: Initial results are looking good

dvorak — Sun, 29 May 2011 17:49:52 GMT

Yeah I got mine from the aussie site, write down all your settings first though lol
It loads with all the default aussie settings which are different to here.

Keep getting DNS timeouts anyone help on that?
No IPv6 address detected [more info]
Connections to IPv6-only sites are timing out. Any web site that is IPv6 only, will appear to be down to you.

Connection in windows looks fine though.

Up and running with linux/FTTC and ipv6 here after some initial problems caused by hardware, followed by lots of fiddling with configuration. Initially there were some issues with routing and the pppoe connection taking an age to connect but a fresh install later after some lessons learnt and it all seems to be up and running smoothly!
Found out the hard way that some linux distros disable ipv6 in firefox with the default install (about:config -> network.dns.disableIPv6 should be false in case you are having issues and want to check).
Also noticed that ipv4/ipv6 seem to have seperate speed profiles set as illustrated by this speed test (top in green = ipv4, bottom in blue = ipv6):

I guess you are probably aware of that though and this setup is just for the trial - hopefully when/if the setup goes live they will use the same profile or one will mirror the other.

Re: Initial results are looking good

brueton — Mon, 30 May 2011 07:50:54 GMT

I ran the same test and got 2.31 M bits/s for both ipv4 & ipv6.
FTTC at my exchange (Bracknell) keeps getting delayed, was Dec 2010 then Dec 2011 and currently 2012
