      Hello Tony,              On Monday April 23 2018 18:05, you wrote to Andrew Leary:               TL> I'm wondering if he has a router that he can't disable the firewall        TL> on. That's where I would look first, because routers should block all        TL> incoming IPv6 traffic by default.              The early routers often had no firewall for IPv6 at all, but those should be       history by now. Everything less tham five years old should have a firewall       that blocks all incoming IPv6 by default.               TL> And there should be firewall controls (often erroneously called "IPv6        TL> port forwarding") to open up individual ports, or disable the firewall        TL> for a particular IPv6 host.              I have yet to come across a router with an IPv6 firewall that does not have an       option to selectively open ports for incoming. It may be a bit hard to find       though because indeed it often is maisnamed "port forwarding" and sometimes       combined with the IPv4 port forwarding and sometimes it is in a completey       different menu.              Andrew has native IPv6 from Comcast, just like Michael Pierce, so they may       have the same or a similar router. Andrew is the right one to provide the       helping hand...              Mischael said he was connected to this echo, but I do not see him yet. There       may be broken links...                     Cheers, Michiel              --- GoldED+/W32-MSVC 1.1.5-b20170303        * Origin: he.net certified sage (2:280/5555)    |
