Continuation

I am in need of replacing a router with a more feature reach model. So I am going to Cisco website, looking for router with all my required features ( wifi, adsl, ipv6 ) and I have found that 857W will do it and it’s not to pricey.

Here is a features table which I found there :

I have bought one unit and when trying to configure ipv6 …. it is missing. I say OK, maybe on this IOS image.

Going back to Cisco website, using Software Advisor I can not find any IOS for 850 series which contains IPv6.

So, I have opened an issue with TAC. And guy says something “yeah, 850s don’t have IPv6″.

CISCO give me my IPv6 on router which I bought!!!!!! Or give me a new one which does it!

Cisco liars !!!

This is busy period, I am working my ass out and I have not much time for my self.

At least I have manage to get a break mid July and I have uploaded some pictures to my, today fixed, gallery

When I was on holiday, my broadband supplier ( Black Cat Networks ) has been taken over and my superb service will be disrupted as a new company will not provide IPv6 which I rely on. I have subscribed with with AAISP they have strange bandwidth limits … 8-18 workdays … but during that time I am at the office, so not a big problem.

I’ve installed Munin monitoring node on my newly rebuild server. I’ve managed to get almost everything monitored.

I had to hack bind9 plugin as original delivered name was not intended for Bind 9. I’ve downloaded bind.in and hacked it a little bit.

My bind.9 has support for IPv6 clients, views and actually works with my Gentoo installation of bind 9.

My named.conf has that logging options :

logging {
channel log_me {
syslog daemon;
severity debug;
};
category queries { log_me; };
};

After weeks without proper Internet connection at home I got it and I went for the best!

I have Black Cat Networks ADSL line, more expensive that this cheap no customer service consumer broadbands. But it has everything what you can imagine. Static IPv4, own subnet in IPv4 if you wish and my favorite IP , the IPv6!!!!  And on top of that there is Kind, Fast and Clueful customer support.

Hope this will stay like that

Recently I bought a Nokia E61 with contract from T-Mobile. Contract is a specific one, gives you unlimited(except you can’t use it with a laptop or to make VoIP calls ) access to the Internet from your phone. I love this bundle, really nice device ( I don’t even miss touch screen ) and total freedom of the Internet access.

I own a few mobile gadgets , Casio BE300, Palm Tungsten C, Nokia 770, Abacus Palm Wrist PDA and non of them is not as flexible and didn’t satisfy my needs to the extend which e61 does.

Finally I have access to my email wherever I am, I have always up to date currency conversion tool, weather forecasts, news… all the things that were promised with previous devices are now finally working!  The other thing is software selection, much real life than 770, but not as good as Palm, still enough.

E61 does not sport touch screen …. as I all my previous gadgets are touchable … I really don’t miss it. Interface design is brilliant! E61 also made me realize that I was really missing thumb qwerty keyboard, TC and E61 both sport it.

Time to pickup some Symbian knowledge … as I know almost nothing about that OS … I’ve notice that it has IPv6 support so I might even love it

Since I have implemented IPv6 in my network, I am suffering from lack of Ethernet - Ethernet router which can do IPv6. It means that my laptop has to stay wired to external/border router and my sharp server is not yet available over IPv6.

I am fishing on Ebay for any IPv6 capable router, my bad, I know only about Cisco 8[3,5,7]1 routers which are also in price range acceptable for me. Maybe you know about any other ? does not have to be Cisco ( however I prefer ) and does not have to be new.

No problem. Just finished setting up my router with IPv6 over IPv4 tunnel to Hurricane Electric … and it works! and it is amazing how easy it is to do when doing it with Cisco IOS … Linux requires more steps.

But … if I wish to make it something permanently fitted in to my network, I will need to redesign it, and replace at least one router with something what supports IPv6 and no doubt it will be Cisco … unless you know other Big Brand, cheap router.

My ISP is driving me crazy … There was a 5 min power outage in Telehouse on Sunday afternoon , and they did not have my connection working properly until today late afternoon … crap I’m starting to contemplate if I should request a change to Black Cat for ( I hope ) better service ( Pricey ) but with native IPv6 ( yeah! ) .
Over the weekend watched City of Men, series based on very good movie City of God … both really nice and original.

Today I have spent on IPv6 , full time .. and yeah! got it working mmm…
So I’ve applied for a tunnel with HE and after few hours it was approved, and after half an hour I have it running, and my Kame is dancing.

Now I just waiting for my own class which I’ll be able to assign to my internal network and depreciate IPv4 on it.
