Best way? Ask them. If the tech support doesn't know the answer, then they don't really "support" it (speaking as a long-time ISP system and network admin). Other than that, it depends on how you connect. If you've got cable or DSL with a router running a DHCP client to get an address, see if it can also get an IPv6 address via DHCPv6 (hopefully with prefix delegation). SixXS and HE are IPv6 tunnel brokers; while that will get you on the IPv6 Internet, it is not optimal (as you tunnel all your IPv6 traffic over IPv4 to a third party, so you can get sub-optimal routing). -- Chris Adams <linux@xxxxxxxxxxx> -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
