In 2011 we tested a computer on our office network (and also on ADSL lines) to see how our services would work just using just native IPv6. |

We used an |
We used an Apple laptop, disabled IPv4 and enabled IPv6. We suspect similar results on an ADSL line - we'll test this later on. |

We want to ensure that all our services work over IPv6. This page has our progress and notes. |

===IPv6 NAT64 gateway === |
|||
AAISP provide an IPv6 to IPv4 gateway, which allows one to connect to the IPv4 world from an IPv6-only machine. |
|||
To use this, simply change the DNS server addresses to 2001:8b0:6464::1 and 2001:8b0:6464::2 |
|||
Note that the IPv6 router advertisements from your router may still broadcast the normal DNS server addresses. |
|||
===How to test=== |
|||
We have 2 IP test web pages: |
|||
*https://ip4.help.me.uk |
|||
*https://ip6.help.me.uk |
|||
Each will return your corresponding IP address. |
|||
If you get bored looking for IPv6 websites, there is always https://loopsofzen.co.uk to keep you occupied. |
