Stateless autoconfiguration using Router Advertisement from radvd running on my Debian gateway and the utilities provided by the patch (ftp, telnet, ping6, tracert6) work, but I have been unable to have any supposedly IPv6-capable web browser or FTP client such as Mozilla/Firefox or FileZilla working on it. *Sigh*Well, as Win2k was the platform I did PuTTY IPv6 on
Did you ? Well, thanks a lot for it, I appreciated. :-)
I am pretty sure that should work.
Indeed I forgot to mention that PuTTY IPv6 works. Sure I can do SMTP, POP3, NNTP, even HTTP over IPv6 with it but unfortunately that's not so convenient.
The reason MSIE doesn't work is because of wininet.dll
I hardly use MSIE (too many flaws, too often), so I didn't even bother trying to browse IPv6 sites with it. Do you know whether other software such as Mozilla/Firefox/Thunderbird use this DLL ?
You can circumvent that partially by using the binaries from: http://www.sixxs.net/archive/windows/ Which as the README in it tells you are patched up versions of wininet.dll so that it should be newer than what is available.
I know, I have them on my hard disk. But even those files are older (2003) than the wininet.dll on my workstation (2005). So I'm afraid that they still contain some uncorrected flaws. :-(
General idea is: Avoid Win2k (this is a debian list afterall ;)
Sorry, I'm not ready for this. Debian is just fine as my gateway/firewall/server, but not yet as my workstation.
