Sounds familiar. I had this problem with Windows 9x last time and
avoided the usage of .255 and .0 since those days. Windows 2008 has a
lot of improvements in the IP stack, so I'm not surprised when it works now.

Hello!

Quite interesting discussion you have!

   - There seems to be no consensus about how to serve end user
 addressing for ipv6

I see some open points which must be addressed in advance before IPv6 could
be delivered to anyone - not only to geeks like me.

Think about Cable. It's easy there - you have a modem with one or more
Ethernet ports. Some RA announcements for the customers /64 and everyone is
happy. Think about the advantage of two computers when using IPv4 and an
infinite amount of computers when using IPv6 for only 29.95 per month. What
a motivation for the customer to use it ;-) Of course all the Router /
Blackbox Firewall users are lost.

ADSL is a bit more problematic. Standard ppp handles just the link layer
addresses. Who should get the /64? The ppp endpoint itself or the network
behind? Apple for example goes the simple way and passes all the
configuration to the user. ppp devices won't accept RA announcements. How
does Windows behave? I don't now.

Next point: DNS. DHCPv6 is IMHO only supported by some Linux distros. Apple
once again uses the DNS configured by IPv4 DHCP or manually configured ones.
Windows has some site wide addresses out of a deprecated space predefined
(fec0:0:0:::1~3). The approach to pack DNS IPs into RA is yet too young
and not standardized or even implemented.

So we have still a lot of work in front of us.

Even more work will come for small and medium business networks. Today there
is a NAT gatway in front of the network and tunneling VPN for the remote
workers or office interconnect. There is usually an internal DNS (Windows
AD) carrying the local addresses. Everyone knows the basics and how to set
up such environemnts. What about the future? Route IPv6 directly to the
clients? What about remote workers? Delegate the reverse and forward lookup
to the internal DNS?

Of course all those questions are answered when you operate an open network.
Like universities or ISPs usually do. Or when you run an independend company
network only connected by proxies. But for other usage, like SOHO users,
there are still open points.

 Cisco 1841 with HWIC for xDSL... or Cisco 800 series for ADSL

At least the Cisco 83x line is not VLAN aware.

 Better then to pay the closed source folks and let them do it, as they
 will also maintain the changes for yo.

Each day I work with Open Source and Closed Source tools and applications.
Usually I see commercial software coming with a better usability and
OpenSource with better stability and performance.

The major advantage for OpenSource is the visibility of the code - no code
monkey is able to hide 20 years old buggy crap when he needs to provide the
sources. Believe me, this is a great motivation for a lot of coders out
there ;-)

Even more, when you pay licenses host or by CPU, which means today
_per_core_, why should a commercial software supplier optimize their
binaries? Even simple tasks like using a commercial compiler instead of gcc,
which gives 10-100% additional performance, is often not done as the
compiler costs $1000 extra - compare this with the several hundred thousends
the scoftware company usually earns per year...

My grandfather was working for the good old PTT and had a real Willy's Jeep.
My mother often told me the story of cold winter nights where her father
went out of the house to some PBX in the mountains and clean the relay
contacts using some kind of sandpaper.

Also the good old days had their problems :-)

 Sitch accept the oe Symbol. What is with the American DNS Servers? I think
 many of the US DNS couldn't handle ä, ö ü and oe?

To put umlouds in the DNS-Servers, you don't need any changes at
the DNS protocoll or the servers itself. Everything is handled in
the application like the browser.

See [1] as an example.

[1] http://übel.lugs.ch/
[2] http://xn--bel-goa.lugs.ch/

You will notice that a modern Mozilla / Firefox / Opera converts
the entered umloud automatically to the punycode. You will also
notice that IE is not able to handle this URL.

I don't understand Switch, why the still try to earn money with
such a useless thing...

I just use my own hosts - my private boxes and my business

plot some graphs without the knowledge of the owner.

 This documents were very short and summarized Sender-ID very well:

Thanks for the links.

 And here is the part which is
 incompatible with Classic SPF. The records are the same, but while
 Classic SPF ONLY used them to check the envelope from (Return-Path),
 Sender ID uses the SAME records to check for From.

I see. Classic mailsetups as I use for my private emails will
work. My SPF-record should be working for both aproaches.

Complex mailsetups like the one from my employer ethz.ch will
never ever be compatible with one or both solutions. A wildcard
entry will be the solution if Hotmail will continue to follow
Sender-Id...

There is a lot of political and rare technical discussions on the

http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/spf/deployment/13622

I was not able to find a usable howto for understanding Sender-Id
or creating a working environement. Usually, I don't need more
then half a day to understand a new technology - but Sender-Id
takes more time ;-)

As long as no one has written a cookbook for implementing
Sender-Id, only Hotmail users will be able to create Hotmail
compliant mails. So: Who cares?
