IPV6 on BT Broadband VDSL help please?

[drattt]

Hi,
I'm on on VDSL with BTboadband.
I'm using a 8800nl with the latest firmware.
I did a factory reset on the 8800NL.
I read the manual and I followed the instructions. The pictures on page 34 show ipv6 addresses.
"Default IPv6 Gateway/IPv6 Address" is blank on my 8800NL.
Can somebody tell me how to get ipv6 working on the 8800NL? "my ip" is an ipv4 one.
I tried the BT superhub and ipv6 works perfectly. "my ip" is an ipv6 one.
Thanks.

Are you certain that you were connected via IPV6 using the BT homehub (assume it's a 6) as BT don't have IPV6 widespread availability yet - it can be very localised ie one street does the next doesn't.

Hi scrwal,
I'm absoloutely certain I had an ipv6 address on the hub.
I know the difference betweeen ipv4 and ipv6 addresses.
Thanks.

Hello billion_fan,

Thank you very much for your help.

I followed your pictures and I have ipv6 success!

C:\>ipconfig
Windows IP Configuration
Ethernet adapter Ethernet:

Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : home.gateway
IPv6 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 2a00:23c4:****:****:****:****:****:****
Temporary IPv6 Address. . . . . . : 2a00:23c4:****:****:****:****:****:****
Link-local IPv6 Address . . . . . : fe80::****:****:****:****%9
IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.100

Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : fe80::****:****:****:****%9

I replaced some real numbers with ****.

My understanding is that enabling the IPV6 DHCP server is optional for stateless IPV6 configuration. Both methods (IPV6 DHCP enabled/disabled) appear to work fine, so is there any advantage between either method?

Should MLD snooping set to Standard or Blocking Mode?

I would leave the DHCP server on for either stateless of stateful

MLD snooping is more for multicast over Ipv6 eg for BT Vision box, but they normally multicast over IPv4 as most people don't have Ipv6 with BT yet.
