Are you using libicd-network-3g-ipv6? What happens when you use 127.0.0.1 in /etc/resolv.conf and you're on ipv6?

edit: it just occured to me that you could be using meego instead of maemo. If that's the case, then disregard this message.
I'm not using Meego.

127.0.0.1 works fine in /etc/resolv.conf when I'm using ipv6.

Yes, I'm using libicd-network-3g-ipv6.

If I shouldn't edit resolv.conf that's fine.

What exactly should I do with the suggestion that

"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"

as is posted above?
