Re: Initial results are looking good

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

Re: Initial results are looking good

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.

Re: Initial results are looking good

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.
Test with IPv4 DNS record ok (0.890s) using ipv4
Test with IPv6 DNS record timeout (15.030s)

Test with Dual Stack DNS record ok (0.793s) using ipv4

Test for Dual Stack DNS and large packet ok (0.264s) using ipv4

Test IPv4 without DNS ok (0.452s) using ipv4

Test IPv6 without DNS timeout (15.027s)
Test IPv6 large packet timeout (15.028s)

Test if your ISP's DNS server uses IPv6 bad (1.686s)

Connection in windows looks fine though.
