You're intentionally prefering complex setups that can take your packets through further routes, and through locations you have nobody to complain to when they break. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teredo_tunneling http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb457011.aspx Is that true? Do teredo/miredo make connections more complicated for IPv4 addresses? If your only IPv6 connection is via Teredo, and if the site you are trying to reach supports both IPv4 and IPv6, and if your software prefers IPv6 over IPv4 then yes, it will send the connection via Teredo rather than directly by IPv4. If the site is IPv4 only then no, it won't be more complicated. If the site is IPv6 only then it is via Teredo or nothing. Right, that makes sense.

[Dorset] Getting MythTV to work in Kubuntu 10.10
Hi All Has anyone had any success getting MythTV installed and working without resorting to Mythbuntu? I am having problems getting it to connect to the database despite being able to access it myself in a terminal. I think the problem is with it trying to call kdesu instead of kdesudo when opening the database. Is there some way to redirect this? Any help would be much appreciated.
