All I log coming into my web page is 100% ipv4 addresses. So I'd imagine that there is a translation someplace between the backbone and shentel. What little geip lookups I've done seems to a accurate. My router, running dd-wrt, NAT's from the address it gets from shentel, so my web access, from any of my 5 machines, is totally transparent, the translation, wherever it is, works that well. TBT, I've never allowed ipv6 setups here at my place, simply because the net tools then use it as default, don't even consider ipv4 is available so they just puke and give up. I can't even do a damned dns lookup until I've totally disabled that crap and rebooted the machine I was playing with. Not being able to play with it so I am ready when it arrives is, I'll say, less than impressive. So my attitude is they should use it or shove it. And price bandwidth high enough to bankrupt the spammers. The problem of course with that is that the isp is often the spammer. Stay safe and well now, Mark.
