Many of the free 4to6 tunnels will provide a /64 of IPv6 addresses that you can assign arbitrarily. They also provide scripts to automatically update your 4to6 tunnel's IPv4 address whenever you are assigned a new one. > A MASQ-target seems not to be available for IPv6 Yes, NAT is not available in IPv6, nor is it needed. > - so if my router > disconnects/reconnets, all the computers in my LAN will have to change > their IPv6 address. Nope, you can use their MAC address to generate an IPv6 address that will always be used for that device. You could /also/ assign the an address out of the /64 space given to you by the tunnel broker. IPv6 routers exchange routing information so you can use the same IPv6 address for a device no matter whose network infrastructure you are using. That's one of the great things about IPv6. > Has anyone ever tried to supply his homenetwork with IPv6 through a > normal IPv6 connection? I wanted to do it but never got very far. -- "If there's one thing we've established over the years, it's that the vast majority of our users don't have the slightest clue what's best for them in terms of package stability." -- Gentoo Developer Ciaran McCreesh
