It's all new to me.. :)              Asll decent routers that support IPv6 have a firewall that blocks unsollicited       incoming IPv4 packets. With IPv4 yoi have to explicitly tel the router where       to send in incoming packet. (By adding it to the NAT table). With IPv6 you do       not tell an incoming packet where to go, that info is already in the IPv6       address. But you must tell the firewall to let it pass.              Sometimes this setting is misnamed "port forwarding".                     Cheers, Michiel              --- GoldED+/W32-MSVC 1.1.5-b20170303        * Origin: he.net certified sage (2:280/5555)    |
