enthusiast IPv6 certification level

[jan101]

Hello,

I got my domain name and all the name servers configured correctly, based on http://www.elktech.org/Networking/Semester2/Materials/IPv6CertificationInstructions.pdf.
I am trying to pass the Enthusiast test and it HE.net could not grab my file. Not sure what I did wrong. Thanks

ping6 is not a recognized command on my PC. So I did this:


C:\Users\jan>ping tech-issimo.com

Probably because you're on Windows

You're pinging your host from behind the firewall; unless you've explicitly denied ICMP and enabled HTTP (but I can't connect either) then I'd say you have a firewall issue.

[jan101]

Yes. i have Windows 7.

So I have IIS installed on my PC. I have my domain name with Godaddy. I changed the nameserver to ns1.he.net to ns5.he.net. I added my domain & configured AAAA at https://dns.he.net/.

Where is the association between my domain name and my webserver (my Windows PC)? I think that is where I got lost.

I have another domain name and it is associated with the domain name of the provider. But I don't see the association between tech-issimo and my webserver. I hope it makes sense what I am trying to describe.  Thanks

I think you have that part licked as DNS is associating a IP address with your domain name.

You just need to allow HTTP traffic through your firewall.

[jan101]

Got it. Thank you. My AAAA says that my domain name is linked to my webserver IPv6 address.

The tunnel from my PC to HE tunnel broker is not a VPN tunnel. It is just an IPv4 connection with ipv6 on the inside. Correct?

[cholzhauer]

Right, it's not a VPN connection.

IPv6 packets are being sent to you buried inside IPv4 packets.
