Floating in numbers [IPv6] | Moved to FreeDNS 

I went to SCaLE last weekend, and was very happy to talk to the people at the IPv6 booth. I also jacked one of their “getipv6.info” stickers cause it looked neato & unixy. A day later I stuck it on my laptop (along with some other nice linux/gnu/openvz buddies); and a day after that I started on my journey to IPv6.
I’ve been working through IPv6 Essentials in my free time, and actually implementing it at home! I started out by bricking my router (earlier post), followed by epic failure when trying to configure IPv6 on my router. I was rewarded with a little success before I had to call it quits late at night. I manually assigned my IPv6 address to my mac and everything worked wonderfully (ipv6.google.com for example)

Well I was dis-satisfied, and spent the better part of my day at home (Thursday 25, 2010) getting it to work on my router. Now everything works & I can reboot my router & expect everything to come back when it’s back up. I will post how I got everything working ASAP since the current IPv6 articles are dated & chock full of mis-information.
In the process of moving to IPv6 at home I needed to make my dyndns IPv6 compatible. Well dyndns isn’t IPv6 compatible (for free anyways), so I decided to switch to FreeDNS. It provides AAAA record support (IPv6), and allowed me to pass onto the next level of the HE.net certification:


Yay! I’m an IPv6 Enthusiast…
After reading through IPv6 Essentials I can see the real plusses to IPv6, and can’t wait to take advantage of all it’s neat features.
