IPv6 addresses do > exist although I tried accessing them I couldn't get > anything, maybe DNS needs updating? You won't be able to access an IPv6 network from an IPv4 network directly. To do that, you need to use an IPv6 tunnel. (I think thats the word). Basically, someone operates something similar to a proxy, and that translates between IPv4 and IPv6 for your IPv4 based device. |

IPv6 addresses will look similar to this - 3ffe:1900:4545:3:200:f8ff:fe21:67cf (They're hexadecimal rather than decimal) It got this from www.opus1.com > As you can see, the available combinations are MUCH > greater in IPv6, so IP addresses should not be in > short supply. That's right. We'll have virtually unlimited ip addresses. In an article I was reading the other day, someone reckoned that there were about 5 IPv6 addresses for every square metre on earth. |

The site is complex and confusing to use, has some broken links, and was just a nuisance to find any useful information on... |
