| My laptop show 2 client ip addresses. Client IP and Client IP V6. is this normal? |
|
Quoted:
Are you directly connected to your provider's modem? Does the v6 address start with fe80::? or some other? Your provider may be IPv6 capable. You should start using it if you can. There are some really cool features available to you. my provider is comcast. it does start with fe80. the laptop is wireless.how do i start it?? |

Well. fe80 addresses are known as link-local addresses. These types of addresses are not routable and are used for discovery purposes on, you guessed it, the local link a.k.a. your local network. Every network device that is IPv6 capable will have a link-local address. You may want to read about Toredo and ISATAP to learn how to "tunnel" for IPv6 connectivity.
You'll need a global ipv6 address too. |
