Current operating systems (Windows, Linux, BSD) support IPv6. In most cases, it is enabled by default. If you have an fe80 address, it shows you that IPv6 is enabled for this interface. If you have a GUA address (2000::/3), you can reach other machines in the internet (if nothing is faulty). Your router needs to support IPv6 (most current routers do, post your model in case you are unsure). Your ISP needs to support it and provide you a network via DHCPv6-Prefix-Delegation. > 2. did I have an active IPv6 connection? Check your router, most likely it will show that. Then check your machine for an address beginning with digit 2. -- kind regards Marco Send spam to [email protected]
