Help - IPv6 question

[lsdn]

I use Windows XP SP1 and I'm behind a router (SMC Barricade). Is there any way I can access an IPv6-enabled web site from behind this router. The network is on IPv4. I installed IPv6 on the XP machine, and tried to trace route to www.6bone.net. The DNS resolves www.6bone.net to its IPv6 address, but that's all.. I cannot reach the server. Any ideas? Please help.

Thanks a lot

You should be able to get to it with just IPv4.

i think your router must support IPv6 tunneling..

but why do you want to do this? just to play around?

any performance advantages IPv6 might have are eliminated since you are going thru IPv4 pipe..

There are some website only on IPv6 and I want to access them. I just need to know how to do it.

The new Internet extensions DLL, Wininet.dll, enables Web browsers to access IPv6?enabled Web servers. For example, Wininet.dll is used by Microsoft Internet Explorer to make connections with a Web server to view Web pages. Internet Explorer uses IPv6 to download Web pages when the Domain Name System (DNS) query (or hosts file) for the name of the Web server in the URL returns an IPv6 address. You can then connect to names that resolve only to IPv6. To verify that the DNS query returns IPv6 addresses, try to ping the Web server domain name using the Ping6.exe tool.

For applications other than Internet Explorer: Connect using a literal IPv6 address. URLs that use the format for literal IPv6 addresses described in RFC 2732, "Format for Literal IPv6 Addresses in URLs," are not supported by the version of Internet Explorer provided with Windows XP.

Note  Internet Explorer cannot browse IPv6 Web sites if it is configured to use a proxy server. When Internet Explorer is configured to use a proxy server, all name resolution requests for Web sites are forwarded to the proxy server. Until the proxy server is IPv6?enabled, proxy?based requests for local or remote IPv6 Web pages are unsuccessful. For information about how to configure Internet Explorer to operate without the use of a proxy server, see Internet Explorer Help.
