P2P networking

To start with Peer to Peer networking, install the Peer 2 Peer component (XP – Add remove programs>Add remove Windows Components>Network components>Peer 2 Peer).

Turn on your IPv6 stack.

net start p2psvc

netsh p2p pnrp cloud show list

I was not able to connect with the seed server

netsh p2p pnrp diag ping seed

 

To turn on Teredo based IPv6 for your PC. On XP – make it the DMZ server if behind a NAT firewall or redirect ports 3544 and 3540 to your machine.

 

netsh interface ipv6 set teredo client teredo.ipv6.microsoft.com

netsh interface ipv6 set teredo enterpriseclient
(if on a Domain)

(I also found teredo.alicenet.de but it did not give me an address).

The IGD tool from Microsoft helps you evaluate your network connection to the Internet.

A nice diagram on connecting IPv6 and IPv4.

A good post on setup of IPv6 (with Teredo) at home; setup of IPv6 with tunnelbroker and more at this link.

This post discusses how you can setup a Teredo broker (Miredo). It also lists some Teredo servers around the world.

 

When Teredo is running on my PC, I am able to ping6 ipv6.l.google.com; but I cannot get IE or Firefox to use IPV6. Both browsers use IPv6 when I use the Hexago Gateway IPv6 Tunnel client.
