IPv6 T-Mobile US Beta Test
 

Ran across this site...

http://groups.google.com/group/tmoipv6beta

Any thoughts on this, has anyone tried using IPv6 on the N900 over GPRS?

Requirements:

# Be a T-Mobile USA subscriber with an unlimited data plan

# Have T-Mobile coverage, not roaming or WiFi

# Have a Nokia 5230 Nuron or the Nokia E73 Mode phone. The N900 also works, but it's IPv6 support is much less mature.

# Be willing to help T-Mobile improve the service, forgive us as we grow and refine the service, and accept that this beta service is not supported within any T-Mobile support channel, including Customer Care or any T-Mobile store or reseller. This Google groups forum is the only channel for IPv6 support during the beta friendly user trial.

# Accept that the service is still evolving and that many services like Visual Voice Mail, MyAccount, MMS (picture messages), and several other services do not yet work. Web and Email both work well, but many other data services are still coming online with IPv6.

probably with the enhanced kernel.. I dunt think that the nokia native kernel has support for ipv6..
As far as I remember, <Enhanced kernel for power users > has the capability to support ipv6

You do need the advanced Titan Kernel

I have used the N900 on the T-Mobile USA IPv6 service mentioned above and it works very well. It is great to have IPv6 access in Maemo.

No thanks to Nokia, though. :rolleyes: Hooray for Titan! :D

Can i ask which tutorial you used to get ipv6 working on the n900? thanks :)

asking because i tried one tutorial with an enabler and disabler file, but i couldn't get it to work. if you used the same one, i'll have to have another look.

I used this http://n900-ipv6.garage.maemo.org/

With ccinternet2.t-mobile.com as my APN, but you first have to be enabled by your service provider, in my case T-Mobile USA at http://groups.google.com/group/tmoipv6beta

Re: IPv6 T-Mobile US Beta Test
 

Hmm, same here. I've been enabled as well, and I enabled ipv6 in the browser. Also added the static DNS server in the "enable" file.

Do you see the dancing turtle at the top of www.kame.net? My turtle never danced. And I couldn't ever access ipv6.whatismyipv6.com either. Do these work for you?

Re: IPv6 T-Mobile US Beta Test
 

Yep, they all work for me fine. Assuming you did the full instructions for IPv6 on garage link including updating the browser and setting the permissions for the files, it should work. What do you see when you do an ifconfig in xterm? I have a gprs0 which is IPv4 and a gprs1 which is IPv6. If you dont have those, there is likely something wrong with how you installed the scripts. You might want to manually run the IPv6 enable script to see what pops out. if you have an address, you may want to try a ping6 ipv6.google.com, 2001:4860:b006::63 ... it should work. You may also want to ask for help on the Google Groups page for T-Mobile IPv6 beta.

One other important point, if you are on WiFi, the N900 does not connect to the GPRS network with IPv4 or IPv6. So, as long as you are on WiFi that is IPv4 only, you will not connect to the IPv6 cellular network. So, when testing IPv6 on cellular, turn off wifi.
