Re: IPv6 connection from second computer?

I was just trying out IPv6 on Thursday with Tiger (10.4.11)...

Some notes:

* You have to manually configure the DNS server IPv6 address (MacOS doesn't support
DHCPv6 or RFC 5006).


* You have to turn off the MacOS firewall (it blocks incoming IPv6 port 53 by default
and there's no way to change that from the firewall GUI that I could discover).


* Firefox and Camino require a special non-default setting to work with IPv6. Go to
"about:config". Safari works by default.


I also got Jabber (Adium) working (you need an account on a v6 enabled server).

I didn't try SSH, however.

Hi,

I currently trying to test an IPv6 setup and some of the problems I am
having suggest that MacOS X may be blocking incoming IPv6 requests.

The setup involves two computers on the same network, behind a DSL router
with NAT.
  PowerMac G4, connected to IPv6 network using Aiccu (sixxs.net)
  MacBook Pro, connected to IPv6 network using Miredo

Also tried:
  PowerMac G4, connected to IPv6 network using Miredo
  MacBook Pro, connected to IPv6 network using Miredo

With each computer I am able to connect to the following IPv6 addresses:
  http://www.kame.net/
  http://ipv6.google.com/

Both computers have a web server running and ssh access, yet neither is
able to ssh or open a connection to the other, yet they are able to
connect to themselves using the same IPv6 address.

Is there something that I might be missing? I am going to continue to see
if I can find anything document else where, but if someone already knows
something I don't I would appreciate the insight. This is proving to be a
little problematic to see if my applications are handling IPv6 properly.
