    Loonix is a custom Linux distribution meant for server applications.

    I'm guessing it doesn't play flash since it's a server distribution. Silly question really.

    http://www.broadbandreports.com/forum/r24474010-Security-E3000-passes-iOS4-IPv6

    I installed an E3000 yesterday and this morning tried an IPv6 test at one of many such sites on the web and discovered that my iOS4/3Gs iPhone had an IPv6 address.

    It appears that E3000 has an IPv6 capability. Comcast appears to be doing a 6to4 translation along the way.

    I don't find any way mention of a IPv6 capability on the E3000 especially anyway to control a firewall on it.

    It supports IPv6. You need to fucking google more before you post a reply.. in fact just any comment at all.

    XP does support IPv6 and you can do IPv4 to 6 proxy conversation.

    I'm going by what's on wikipedia so please correct me, but class A is around 16 million addresses? Well they're currently going through one class A ( \8 block ) a month so it wouldn't exactly buy much extra time.

    So what about Google, Microsoft, Apple, Rackspace, Amazon and the millions of other ISPs, Datacenters, Science stations such as the LHC, etc that all need publicly addressable computers in mass quantities?

    It's easy to say that you don't need this and can happily live behind a NAT. That doesn't mean you represent the rest of the internet and it's millions of different use cases most of which do require the internet to work as it was designed.

    So you've just essentially proposed a solution which is almost exactly the same as IPv6 address scheme. Why do you think that your scheme isn't going to take a complete change of all equipment? because it uses a numbering system similar to IPv4?

    Oh yes we should co-ordinate everything around Microsoft's time. No offense but why that date? Why should we have to wait till 2014 when people have been predicting for a long time that we're going to run out of IPv4 addresses by the middle of next year?

    My personal connection is behind two layers of NAT. I have ZERO connectivity issues with my business site and network from home, without needing a VPN.

    How nice for you. What is your point in relation to my original statements that NATing the internet wouldn't work?

    My site has taken a redditing, 4chan DDoS and slashdotting all on the same day, and stood up, most websites will never have the capability to claim that.

    You mean this? A journal entry doesn't classify as a "slashdotting".

    Do you really expect me to be impressed by 6 static content pages with a shopping cart redirecting to a third party payment system? It's laughable that you consider this noteworthy.

    I even checked out your other claims, such as Reddit (which you submitted yourself). Wow, how did you stem the tide with those 4 upvotes and 23 comments?! (11 of them being from yourself and the others criticising your website)

    The 4chan DDoS I'm guessing you just made up since it makes no sense at all for anonymous to go after you.

    None of this information you've posted makes you impressive or knowledgeable about networking. You are simply a fraud who figured no one would call you out of your bullshit. Stop trying to pretend to be something you're not.

    Anyway this is besides the point. What has anything you replied with got to do with my or your original comment? Nothing, I think this pretty much shows you're wrong when you can't even back up your original statements and instead simply go completely off topic.

    While you think I'm going to be obsolete, I'm busy producing full crops without requiring light for photosynthesis. I can grasp and understand systems and their processes far faster than you could possibly imagine, and streamline the entire thing.

    All of which has nothing to do with networking. I'm happy you've decided to switch jobs. IT was obviously not your strong suit.

    Hopefully you'll also fix your attitude problem, lying and inability to actually stay on topic. Oh wait, you're just making slashverts my bad. Keep trolling.

    Oh and by the way, you're only 28 years old and you think you're old hat?

    And that is why I have my job as a research director.

    Ofcourse you are Mr. Research Director (turn off your sound folks).

    Guess what happens when everyone moves to IPv6? They're going to lose their IPv4 ANYWAYS

    Actually that's not true. When everyone moves to IPv6 they'll still be able to contact everyone on IPv4 via a dual IP stack implementation which is backward compatible by design and is supported by most supported operating systems including Windows.

    Even if that option isn't available IPv4 and IPv6 are forward and backward compatible via a tunnelling as well.

    I run QUINTUPLE NAT on my network, I have *ZERO* issues with multi-computer communications.

    Good for you but that is on YOUR network. Re-read what I said,

    "If both sides are NATd how would you communicate?"

    Your implementation still works because the server you're attempting to connect to isn't behind a NAT as well. Hence why your "lets NAT the internet" idea is never going to work.

    Even so simply addressing one of my points while ignoring the others doesn't make your idea any more viable.

    Been building networks since token rings, friend.

    No one cares about how long you've been in the industry. Slashdot isn't a business where you can flash your experience badge and have everyone submit to your superior "knowledge".

    I suggest you drop the attitude and learn something about your job because it's pretty clear that if you don't soon you're going to be made obsolete, friend.

    So what happens to all the companies that have already spent thousands of dollars to get an IPv4 block get their addresses taken away from them?

    How would you deal with all the internet sites that are now completely unroutable?

    If both sides are NATd how would you communicate?

    How would you get around the port restriction of NAT? You're assuming 1 ip == 1 computer.

    Why would to waste time coming up with some contrived solution that takes much longer and is less supported then simply switching to IPv6 without problems?

    In the context of the article where it is about new businesses without any existing excel spreadsheets?

    Switching from an existing solution has nothing to do with it. Any new business could use anything and have the same problems. If they start out with open source solutions then they can scale that up much better then starting with Microsoft then making the switch.

    The advertising video the Microsoft released isn't about new business though (which the article refers to). Almost every quote given in that video is from companies switching to open source solutions or specifically open office. So I don't believe the article when they say that Microsoft is targeting New Businesses.

    If you truely understand how software patents worked you'd realise that the time the patent was filed means nothing. You can submit a vague patent now and continue to make edits to it. So all you really need to do is patent flying cars, wait for someone to actually do that then fill in the patent with the competitors implementation.

    Microsoft is guilty of filing bogus patents already so I'm not so likely to readily believe they've come up with anything.
