@scribbles you may want to try again. The T-Mobile IPv6 DNS64 server failed last night but seems to be fixed now.

Looks like you are using the HE DNS which will by-pass the T-Mobile DSN64 service, and since 127.0.0.1 is first, i think you will just use the T-Mobile IPv4 DNS most of the time, which does not serve the Google IPv6 DNS records.

My suggestion is that your /etc/resolv.conf look like this to best use the local T-Mobile DNS64 as well as receive the native IPv6 content

namerserver 2607:FB90:BEEF:A::1

This name server should have the lowest latency since it is on the T-Mobile network and also serves the native google / youtube IPv6 content

I think I figured out what my problem is. It seems I have followed two sets of instructions---->IPv4+IPv6 and the other is a pkg installed for IPv6 only

What is the command for removing the IPv6 only pkg (libicd-network-3g-ipv6_1.2_armel.deb) as I believe this is what's giving me problems?? I just need the dual-stack ipv4+ipv6.

Thanks. I will try your suggestion. The way I have it set up now gives me as much speed as I want, though more is always welcome...I was suspicious that namerserver was correct, but it works just fine.

Re: IPv6 T-Mobile US Beta Test
 
I've setup IPv6-only on my N900 and it's working well enough that I've left it as the default. Web, email, and Google Talk work just fine. Dialcentral, The One Ring and Mail for Exchange do not work over IPv6, unfortunately.

IPv6 doesn't seem to work on my private network, however. I'm running radvd and my other PCs and laptops pick up a global IPv6 address automatically, but the N900 only sets up the local link one. Even if I manually add in an IP in my subnet using iproute, I'm not able to ping6 anything, local or outside.

Does anyone have their N900 working on the LAN?

I am late to the party, but I also want to jot down something so that I can follow myself in case I have to redo this.

I went thru the nitdroid 0.0.7 installation, later upgraded to 0.0.8, http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=61338, and that is the status of my N900.

A) I started by following this, http://n900-ipv6.garage.maemo.org/, "enabling IPv6 thru linux kernel", and nothing happened. I proceeded to "Setting IPv6 Connectivity with builit-in web server", go about:config and flip the disabling ipv6 filter.

B) I then tried this, http://code.google.com/p/n900ipv6/wiki/README,
I followed the Steps to install
========================================
* grab the kernel-power package from extras
* put the 3g_ipv6 package on your n900: libicd-network-3g-ipv6_1.2_armel.deb
* install the package as root (dpkg -i libicd-network-3g-ipv6_1.2_armel.deb)
* run /usr/bin/register_3g_ipv6 install
* (Did not do) If you still have the "3G ipv6" connection from the non-packaged version, delete it with: /usr/bin/register_3g_ipv6 remove-old
* reboot
============================================

C) And followed this, http://groups.google.com/group/tmoip...-on-your-nokia

On N900, Settings>Internet Connections>Connect automatically> Always ask.
Connections>Edit>IPv6 (Red in color, wont miss it)
=======================
3 Enter the name ccinternet2.t-mobile.com and tap OK.
4 Select the new Internet access point you just made, ccinternet2.t-mobile.com
=======================
Done>Save>Save.

reboot N900

Now on your status bar, you should see a big big large, lovely sweet, red "v 6"
Use any editor, modify /etc/resolv.conf
===========================
nameserver 2607:FB90:BEEF:A::1
# nameserver 127.0.0.1
===========================

when using wifi, have to change back to 127.0.0.1

check: go webserver, www.whatismyv6.com

What is the advantage of this exercise, FAST, as fast as wifi!

Useful links:
http://www.maemonokian900.com/maemo-...-and-facebook/
http://myn900.wordpress.com/2010/09/...-beta-service/

website support ipv6 so far:
google chrome, firefox, ipv6.google.com

No pic, no story, here are the pics, see the big (white) 6 on top of the green dot, and notice, I am online, but the homeip was read (no IP found) :-)

Enjoy,

bun

Re: IPv6 T-Mobile US Beta Test
 
FYI, anyone: Installing the firmware PR1.3 disabled my ipv6 connection, but I just reinstalled and all is well again.

I found bunanson's comment above to be true:

Use any editor, modify /etc/resolv.conf
===========================
nameserver 2607:FB90:BEEF:A::1
# nameserver 127.0.0.1
===========================

when using wifi, have to change back to 127.0.0.1


Does anyone know how to make this change in resolv.conf automatically when switching from wireless to an ipv6 connection? I don't know anything about Linux scripting.
