Hello, I've never used openwrt and know nothing about it. I use dd-wrt v2.4 both at home and at work, and I love it - it's extremely powerful. I haven't played around with IPv6 however, so I guess I'm of no help on this particular topic. It does seem that IPv6 is easy to setup on dd, however: https://secure.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/IPv6_on_v24 What hardware are you using?

A sign of life on bclug!! :-) I don't know a whole lot about IPv6, but IPv6 tunneling over IPv4, say through toredo on a Windows box, can get you in big trouble fast. It's a superb way of subverting just about every firewall you have. Just noticed the time - gotta catch a bus, sorry! -Randall On Wed, May 12, 2010 at 05:04:36PM -0400, Tom Diehl wrote: > On Sun, 9 May 2010, Ed Ackerman wrote: > > > > > OK, I'll admit it, the hype about the imminent demise of available v4 address > > space has me investigating v6.
