That seems weird to me but what do I        RS> know....              That sounds familiar...              Here (Netherlands) network providers supply a "free" modem/router to their       csutomers. Most DSL providers allow customers to use their own but leading       cable provider Ziggo will not allow you to use you own /modem/. One can have       their modem/router set in bridge mode and have one's own router behind it       ithough. However... in that case one has an IPv4 only connection. So more or       less the same situation as in your case. For now I use their modem/router.              A new law that comes into effect in januari forces providers to have customers       use their own equipment after the Network Termination Point. So than I can use       my own modem/router and still have native IPv6. But Ziggo is dragging their       feet and we may see some legal squirmishes before that happens. We will see...                     Cheers, Michiel              --- GoldED+/W32-MSVC 1.1.5-b20170303        * Origin: he.net certified sage (2:280/5555)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 19/10 90/1 105/81 120/340 123/131 153/757 154/10 203/0       SEEN-BY: 218/840 221/0 1 6 226/30 227/702 229/424 426 428 550 664       SEEN-BY: 229/700 240/5832 249/206 317 400 250/1 280/464 5003 5006       SEEN-BY: 280/5555 282/1038 301/1 310/31 317/3 322/757 335/364 342/200       SEEN-BY: 460/58 633/280 640/1384 712/848 770/1 2452/250 4500/1 5019/40       SEEN-BY: 5020/545 1042 12000 5053/58       PATH: 280/5555 221/6 229/664 426           |
