Re: Does the K4 support IPv6?

I'm not sure what you mean by "support IPv6".

From a Windows command prompt, I tried a *ping -6* command with the radio's
IPv6 address, to force IPv6 addressing, and it responded just fine.

But it sure is easier to type the radios IPv4 address, which the rig
displays in the menu. It doesn't display the K4's IPv6 address, but my
Router interface displayed it.

What application do you plan to use that requires IPv6?

Re: Does the K4 support IPv6?

Your router may supply it to your lan, but your provider may not utilize
it yet.

Re: Does the K4 support IPv6?

Using a web browser on Windows, on the same LAN / Router as the K4, if I go
to https://whatismyipaddress.com/, it displays both an IPv4 and IPv6
address (for my Router), so I assume that means my provider supports both.

Re: Does the K4 support IPv6?

Using that same page, it shows m provider (barely) provides IPv4 with no IPv6. My mantra is still “I didn’t move here for the Internet”. ;-)

Re: Does the K4 support IPv6?

In reply to this post by Bob Wilson, N6TV

Thanks for the info.

Yes, getting close to converting home to all IPv6 and getting rid of NAT.

I run DHCP with dynamic DNS, so I only ever type in hostnames.

I had been running a 6to4 tunnel but my new ISP supports IPv6 directly.

The K4 will support IPv6. (Sorry for not answering sooner.)
