Re: IPv6 T-Mobile US Beta Test
 

Yup, that's documented at http://n900-ipv6.garage.maemo.org under "Setting up IPv6 Connectivity on built-in Web browser":

about:config -> disableIPv6 -> change from true to false

Re: IPv6 T-Mobile US Beta Test
 

Well, I tried it, with the same bad results as you.

Re: IPv6 T-Mobile US Beta Test
 

What about for Opera Mobile?

Re: IPv6 T-Mobile US Beta Test
 

remove the two files you placed in /etc/network
go here: http://code.google.com/p/n900ipv6/wiki/README
follow the instructions.

Re: IPv6 T-Mobile US Beta Test
 

how do i remove them?

Re: IPv6 T-Mobile US Beta Test
 

Opera Mobile worked with ipv6 for me without any changes

Re: IPv6 T-Mobile US Beta Test
 

after i sudo gainroot then:'

dpkg -i libicd-network-3g-ipv6_1.1_armel.deb

i get error processing.

cannot access archive: no such file or directory.



after i "root"

i get the same.

i have the file in my MyDocs folder.


it installed it...a bunch of script...then i tried:


•run /usr/bin/register_3g_ipv6 install


but got an error again.


what am i adoing?

Re: IPv6 T-Mobile US Beta Test
 

When you open a shell, you are in /home/user by default. If the libicd file is in MyDocs, that's /home/user/MyDocs so "cd MyDocs" first. And it needs to be run as root.

Re: IPv6 T-Mobile US Beta Test
 

yes. i cd MyDocs, then the dpkg worked.


but the next command


run /usr/bin/register_3g_ipv6 install


didnt work. it get


"/bin/sh: usr/bin/register_3g_ipv6: not found"

Re: IPv6 T-Mobile US Beta Test
 

don't type "run"
just use "/usr/bin/register_3g_ipv6 install"

Re: IPv6 T-Mobile US Beta Test
 

More testing: SIP (Gizmo5), GTalk, Ovi all work on ipv6 only. TOR and skype don't.

@ddrown nice icon like it

Re: IPv6 T-Mobile US Beta Test
 

Ok, this just sounds like you missed the first / before usr

Thanks, I figured I should have a different icon so you can see at a glance how you're connected

Re: IPv6 T-Mobile US Beta Test
 

TOR and Skype as applications do not support IPv6, i do not believe there is anything you can do to make it work, short of patching the TOR source code to allow bindings to IPv6 addresses as well as IPv4 addresses.

More info here:
https://trac.torproject.org/projects...nRouter/TorFAQ

Similar issue with Skype, IPv6 is just not supported yet ... But, i am told Skype is working on it.

Here is pointer:
http://forum.skype.com/index.php?showtopic=632023

Here is a general pointer to the expected experience in the IPv6-only world ... it's not too bad, but as you are discovering some apps have really dragged their feet, and IMHO opinion they will punished as people choose IPv6 capable options

http://www.ietf.org/proceedings/78/slides/behave-6.pdf


Regarding TOR, i know it has its benefits but it also has some cost ... for example people snooping your unencrypted traffic on the exit node.... if you have unencrypted end-to-end data.

From an IPv6 perspective, some anonymity is baked into IPv6 protocol features like privacy extensions

http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4941

Re: IPv6 T-Mobile US Beta Test
 

youre right...just needed the /



edit: AAAwwwwk! now i lost my internet connection.

i went in and now you can see the new gprs connections. when i tapped edit, the apn just says internet.


also, i cannot change my internet setting at all! i tap menu, and then intenet connection and then it just crashes the menu. it says "not connected" and it wont cconnect to wifi now either. :/


eh-hem...lol...help?!?

Re: IPv6 T-Mobile US Beta Test
 

its strange.


if i change my settings to wifi only, then i can connect to my wifi.

but if i choose any, then it wont connect to ANY connection at all. and when i try to change the connection from the desktop menu, it says there are no connections available.

Re: IPv6 T-Mobile US Beta Test
 

ok....looks like while it may not show me the circle as connected, that so long as i have tmo coverage i am connected to the network, though it will not take my wifi connections.


also, i went to the www.whatismyipv6.com site. i am still only able to ipv4.

when i go to the ipv6.whatismyipv6.com to force the ipv6, i get the "failed to connect" page. :(

Re: IPv6 T-Mobile US Beta Test
 

@tmojoe

by TOR I mean The One Ring - an application for the N900 to integrate Google Voice into phone and messaging on the N900 (see this long thread for more info). Not the TOR network for anonymous browsing.

I don't use skype much at all, so not worried about that one, I was just checking to see which accounts I have would connect and which wouldn't.

Thanks for the info though that should be some interesting reading.

Re: IPv6 T-Mobile US Beta Test
 

That sounds like icd2 isn't running. What does: "ps | grep icd2" say?

If that command does not show a line that includes "/usr/sbin/icd2" then try restarting it (as root) with "initctl start icd2".

The APN is hardcoded in this module to tmobile's ipv6, so you don't need to set it.

Edit: oh, and if /usr/bin/eapd is running while you aren't connected to wireless, it's possible icd2 didn't clean up your old connection properly. This can prevent you from connecting to wifi. The easiest way to fix that is to reboot your n900. I'll change my install instructions to recommend a reboot instead of restarting icd2.

Re: IPv6 T-Mobile US Beta Test
 

I think both TOR's are the same, just specific uses. I use Tor because it's an easy way to run a proxy, not because of its anonymizing features.

Re: IPv6 T-Mobile US Beta Test
 

I think we're just talking circles. The One Ring is a more integrated DialCentral equivalent. It lets me make calls via Google Voice and send/receive SMS as well.

At any rate (to keep somewhat on topic) it is written in python. After a couple of quick google searches, it appears to me that while python supports ipv6, it must be explicitly setup. So most python apps wouldn't necessarily work with ipv6 unless the author intends them to.

I'll guess it's possible for The One Ring to work with ipv6, if the maintainer adds the necessary python code/support. Don't know how easy that will work out to be though.

Re: IPv6 T-Mobile US Beta Test
 

Probably worth asking the maintainer.

Re: IPv6 T-Mobile US Beta Test
 

I used the package here:

https://code.google.com/p/n900ipv6/wiki/README

dead simple and everything seems to be working fine so far. Thanks to whoever made that.

I was able to SSH to my phone over 3G from my work PC. Nice.

Re: IPv6 T-Mobile US Beta Test
 

You're welcome. Let me know if you run into any problems.

:) That was the first thing I did too

Re: IPv6 T-Mobile US Beta Test
 

I have, he's going to do a little research and look into it. No promises though.

Re: IPv6 T-Mobile US Beta Test
 

Since tmobile is using DNS64+NAT64 there are two things the maintainer can do:

1. if they're trying to connect to a hostname, just do a AAAA lookup and connect to that (DNS64 takes care of routing the connection through NAT64)

2. if they just have an IPv4 address to connect to, try to figure out the NAT64 prefix: http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web.../msg08666.html (specifically, option 6)

Re: IPv6 T-Mobile US Beta Test
 

@ddrown

when i installed your way, i was not able to use wifi. so does it autolock to that connection only?


when i am at home, i have lietteally no coverage, so i use wifi for everything...but was unable to unless i put my phone into wifi only.


is there another setup you can create that will not "hard code" it but update our currently installe tmobile installation, or at least allow us to choose that connection seperately?

Re: IPv6 T-Mobile US Beta Test
 

I believe you ran into an install bug. I updated the install instructions to include rebooting the n900 after installing the new connection. I have no trouble using wifi with the ipv6 module installed.

If you are still having trouble using wifi with the module installed and after rebooting, could you tell me more about what your phone is doing? Is it just the automatic switching to wifi that's broken? Does it work if you choose to switch to a wifi access point by hand?

Re: IPv6 T-Mobile US Beta Test
 

i'm familiar with ssh @user-ip-address, how does ssh'ing work over 3G (terminal command)?

Re: IPv6 T-Mobile US Beta Test
 

It's the same.

You can find the IPv6 address of your phone with either an ifconfig in the terminal or by going to www.whatismyv6.com. Once you have that address, you can ssh user@xxxxx, where xxxxx is your IPv6 address on the phone.

I am not sure what the default user is on the n900, but i assume you can create a user account with any valid name and password, or use root to SSH into the phone ... i have not done it myself.

Now, for this to work you have to have downloaded and installed the SSH sever and have it running. Same goes for FTP, HTTP, ... or whatever service you want to run on the phone.

Re: IPv6 T-Mobile US Beta Test
 

Hi,
When I got to whatismyipv6 I get an ipv6 address but still no dancing turtle at kame.net. Do I have IPV6?

Re: IPv6 T-Mobile US Beta Test
 

default user is named "user" :) but yes you can create users just like any other linux system. N900 GUI does not necessarily support it but for terminal/ssh purposes it should work normally.

Re: IPv6 T-Mobile US Beta Test
 

I didn't get dancing turtle either but was able to SSH into my phone using the IPv6 address so it works. Facebook, gchat, browsing and email works - skype doesn't but it sucks my battery dry anyway so I don't mint having that turned off.

I also observed having IPv6 working on EDGE =)

Re: IPv6 T-Mobile US Beta Test
 

I do get the dancing turtle, using microb.

Re: IPv6 T-Mobile US Beta Test
 

Yeah, the turtle is more a historical thing than a good test. www.whatismyv6.com i think is the gold standard, the page loads fast and shows the address clearly. You can also go to sites like www.comcast6.net and www.arin.net and several other sites will reflect back the IPv6 address that their server received you on. Another good hint is that the address they reflect to you is from the T-Mobile USA IPv6 range which starts with 2607:FB90:..... If you see that you, know you are doing the right thing for sure.

Re: IPv6 T-Mobile US Beta Test
 

Thanks. BTW, found another site that seems pretty useful. It's just like whtaismyv6 but a bit more info.

http://wattcher.015.info/check-ipv6-refresh.html

Found this on an Android forum.

-- Edit--

The odd thing is that my laptop is tethered via Joikuspot and the first time I hit the link via laptop it says that my laptop is not using IPv6 which I didn't think it would be and then I clicked the link I just posted above to make sure I didn't make a typo and now it says I'm on IPV6 but it says I'm using the 2001:0:... address. In microb my address is 2607:FB90... I didn't know it would be possible to tether IPV6.

I have IPV6 running in 2 methods. First is via the Google method so is IPV6 only. Joikupspot won't even startup. Next is the IPV4/IPV6 with the scripts and Joikuspot works apparently but I thought only through IPV4. Is the 2001:0:... address specific to mys system? I'm slightly confused.

-- Edit --

Never mind. Apparently the phone is doing 6to4 teredo tunneling? Must be something in the Titan kernel. I don't think Joikuspot does any tunneling. It's interesting that whatismyipv6 doesn't detect the teredo tunneling but the link above does. Still don't understand.

Re: IPv6 T-Mobile US Beta Test
 

I'm having issues...:mad: This seemed so simple. I didn't have this much trouble OC'ing a few months back. Anyway, I have a couple of questions:

Do I actually leave just the " " or type in the words "blank"? My second question is how can I verify the scripts are executable? I type in chmod ugo+x....etc, etc and hit enter for both and nothing happens. You guys have done a good job explaining most of this but I think I may have a few things mixed up...

Oh, almost forgot.... In the /etc/resolv.conf file for wi-fi, in what order should the nameserver be? 127.0.0.1 first or should 2001:470:b:c8::1 be by itself. Your help is appreciated.

Re: IPv6 T-Mobile US Beta Test
 

When you ask questions, try to be as precise as possible. "I have issues" is very vague. I suppose it means "this still isn't working," so you should say so.

When you ask if the word "blank" should be in the quotes instead of "indt" you might as well tell us if you tried it that way.

No, indt should go away and "" should remain.

To confirm that the files are executable you could type

ls -l

Those are ls as in lemon and they stand for long, meaning give us lots of information.

They should show us some xs for executable in some places.

You could show us what you have rather than just asking questions.

Re: IPv6 T-Mobile US Beta Test
 

Maybe saying "I'm having issues" was a bit vague. My apologies... Yes, I have tried both in regards to the quotations. I actually typed it but erased it trying to condense. I am able to get IPv6 via 3G but I am unable to log into any of my services (Googletalk, YM, Skype). I was just hoping someone would share their settings. I'm trying to use ipv4+ipv6 setup. I just have a couple of scripts or missing scripts in the wrong place. I do still retain some Linux skills (very rusty from 2004) so I can perform some rudimentary tasks, just needed a bit of guidance.

Re: IPv6 T-Mobile US Beta Test
 

My resolv.conf is

nameserver 127.0.0.1
nameserver 2001:470:b:c8::1
