the problem is some useful applications such as IPsec and VoIP do not like NAT . Also one NAT-router behind another and NAT becomes problematic. AND one has to resort to all sorts of convolutions such as stun-servers, nat-traversal, port-forwarding etc to attempt to use these. here is a far better ( than the one I posted previously ) utube video on ipv6 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9UHZ7eX_f30 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
