  • Testing IPv6

    From Avon@21:1/101 to All on Sun Oct 10 10:44:06 2021
    Guys I'm just wanting to check you can ping agency.bbs.nz using IPv6 and get a reply.

    Also an attempt to connect to 24554, 24555 and 24556 via IPv6 would be grand.

    24557 will not connect via IPv6 at this time.

    My hunch is you can ping to the domain but not connect to the services on posrts 24554-24556 via IPv6 but IPv4 will be OK.

    Seems your hunch is correct:

    I've restarted the firewall which I think may be the issue. I can connect to the BinkD server at 3:770/1 and 21:1/100 from another machine on the LAN using IPv6 ... so I think it must be firewall stuff, I think :)

    Yes. ping works, but nothing on the binkp ports on IPv6.

    Thanks, yeah it's frustrating as I think I have UFW set up OK (guess not) and that is (I think) the only reason why things are not working.
