On unixes 'ping' is IPv4, 'ping6' is IPv6. Solaris is an exception here afaik, and on Windows 'ping' can also do IPv4 and IPv6. Therefor, there is generally a 'ping -4 example.com' and 'ping -6 example.com' and generally also a '-n' option so that you see the numeric addresses. > That doesn't tell me about the applications' use of IPv6. Well, the clue about it all is that it should be seemless if things are IPv4 or IPv6 and it should not matter what you use, as long as it works. First of all you need to have a AAAA in DNS, secondly the app generally claims to do IPv6, and lastly you can always check with Wireshark or tshark/tcpdump what is really going on. Greets, Jeroen
