Re: IPv6 T-Mobile US Beta Test
 
The one thing I did notice is that if I didn't keep using the ipv6 connection/address, I would lose it and end up with a ipv4 only address. Of course a quick disconnect/reconnect get's it right back. That's probably T-Mobile's doing, but it could be the phone's.

I will try to check this out tonight (won't get on wifi at home).

I did install your ipv6 only connection. Works fine, can access the web, etc. However, it appears that it gives me problems with my sip connection (Gizmo5) and TOR (theonering - google voice access). Both end up with network errors.

Is there anything I should add to /etc/resolv.conf
I added nameserver 2607:FB09:BEEF:A::1 above nameserver 127.0.0.1
commented it out later. Either way ipv6 only give network error for SIP and TOR, ipv4+ipv6 they work fine.

Thanks

You shouldn't need to modify /etc/resolv.conf. The plugin gets the DNS servers from the connection setup and puts them in /var/run/resolv.conf.gprs (which is where dnsmasq looks for them).

I expect the problem with SIP and TOR to be the same as with MSN, having an IPv4 address embedded in the data. This means that DNS64 doesn't have a chance to rewrite the IPv4 address into a IPv6 one. So it probably won't be fixed without an update to that application.

My guess is that if your SIP server was IPv6 this would work especially well :) If the SIP server is IPv4, there is some ALG wrangling that needs to happen since in the IPv6-only scenario the NAT64 must protocol translate the SIP and related RTP packets from IPv6 on your handset to IPv4 on the server. This protocol translation generally works well for web and email, but applications with seperate control and media channels like SIP and RTSP tend to be challenge.

OK, thanks. Based on reading here, I thought that might be the case.

Don't think SIP will get fixed, but Ed may be able to do something for TOR.

Form has been sent.... For those who have this, did you have to actually wait a week to get confirmation??

I'll third that the ipv6 connection is dropped after some time, ipv4 remains connected.

This will give you a v6-only connection option (and leaves your v4-only connection alone). I've been using it for a week now, and the only thing I've run into is MSN is broken (known problem with the MSN protocol).

Please let me know if you have any questions.

This worked for me, got the swimming turtle!
