Re: [leaf-user] IPv6 on Bering box Status

[Radim N. <rad...@ce...>]

Jacques,

Shorewall does not support IPv6 now. But as I wrote in previous message, I=
've
succefsully compiled ip6tables (statically) and now I have functional IPv6=
 firewall (I
hope :-) ). I did ip6tables configuration myself. Shorewall needs to be co=
nfigured to
allow protocol 41 (IPv6) between Bering and IPv6 PoP (IPv6 provider).

Yesterday I successfully setup IPv6 routing. Now I can access IPv6 from my=
 Linux
operating system or my Windows XP.

In short: I need:  ipv6.o kernel module, 'ip' application (from Bering-1.0=
 distribution),
ip6tables (staticaly linked - 560kB), and IPv6 netfilter kernel modules. T=
hat's all.

ip6tables was compiled: make NO_SHARED_LIBS=3D1
on my RedHat 7.3 with kernel 2.4.19 without any problems.
