Sneaking IPv6 onto the Internet???
by Henry R. Linneweh 16 Nov '99

16 Nov '99

(Source: Network World Fusion) In its battle to get IPv6 widely deployed, the Internet engineering community is pursuing an infiltration strategy reminiscent of the Trojan War. http://www.idg.net/go.cgi?id=186618 Now this is novel and I would not have brought it to anyones attention except this is the 5th time in the last 3 days this issue has come up. -- Thank you; |---------------------------------------------------| | Thinking is a learned process so is UNIX | |---------------------------------------------------| Henry R.

IOS 12.0.7S version
by Hyunseog Ryu/Brookfield/Norlight 16 Nov '99

16 Nov '99

Hi, folks Is there anybody use IOS 12.0(7)S version? We got PA-2T3+ card for Cisco 7507, and upgraded its software from 11.2P to 12.0(7)S. After that, suddenly routing didn't work. We use BGP for external connection and OSPF for internal connection. But traffic from OSPF didn't go to outer Internet at all. Is there any factors that I need to adjust? We tried to traceroute from internal network to Cisco 7507, and it was fine. When we tried to traceroute from Cisco 7507 to outer Internet, it was fine. But when we tried to traceroute from internnal network to outer Internet, there was timeout at Cisco 7507. When I use "sh ip route", it looks fine. I don't know why. Please let me know the reason or solution. Thanks in advance.

ISP Address Allocation
by rfuller＠3x.com 15 Nov '99

15 Nov '99

What is the best and most accurate way to determine an ISP's range of addresses? For example, if I wanted to see what AT&T's allocation of IP addresses are, how would I go about doing this in the most timely manner? What about for smaller ISPs? Thanks!

Adios to NSI?
by John K. Doyle, Jr. 14 Nov '99

14 Nov '99

Folks, After a recent near-death (well, near-career-limiting anyway) experience with NSI over a simple DNS server update to an existing registered domain, the thought occurs to me: Perhaps I should just switch ALL of my domains over to another Registrar as they get near their renewal dates. THAT way I'll never have to power-dial (703) 742-4777 for hours on end ever again! We don't do enough domain add/change/delete traffic to qualify for an assigned rep (not from NSI anyuway), but we do have a couple of dozen active registrations. So the question is, are any of the newer "alternative" registrars substantially better? NSI appears to be run by former Cable TV Customer Service types. Who can say whether or not some of them have snuck off to work for the newer Registrars and are therefore lowering the cluefulness level at their new places of employment? </rant> Seriously, I'm looking for comments on the operational reliability of register.com and similar. We don't have any particularly quirky expectations. It'd just be nice to be able to get the Registrar on the phone if necessary. Also, has anyone other than Ehud actually tried to "transfer" an active domain between Registrars? His recent post made it sounds like the process is fraught with pitfalls. I'll summarize any private reponses I receive for the list. Thanks, John ------------------------------------------------------------------------- John K.
