when using wifi, have to change back to 127.0.0.1


Does anyone know how to make this change in resolv.conf automatically when switching from wireless to an ipv6 connection? I don't know anything about Linux scripting.
You should not need to edit /etc/resolv.conf. Using 127.0.0.1 means use the local program "dnsmasq". dnsmasq gets the nameserver to query from /var/run/resolv.conf.gprs (among other files named resolv.conf* in /var/run). My libicd-network-3g-ipv6 package creates this file when you connect.

Are you using libicd-network-3g-ipv6? What happens when you use 127.0.0.1 in /etc/resolv.conf and you're on ipv6?

edit: it just occured to me that you could be using meego instead of maemo. If that's the case, then disregard this message.

I'm not using Meego.

127.0.0.1 works fine in /etc/resolv.conf when I'm using ipv6.

Yes, I'm using libicd-network-3g-ipv6.

If I shouldn't edit resolv.conf that's fine.

What exactly should I do with the suggestion that

"My suggestion is that your /etc/resolv.conf look like this to best use the local T-Mobile DNS64 as well as receive the native IPv6 content

namerserver 2607:FB90:BEEF:A::1

This name server should have the lowest latency since it is on the T-Mobile network and also serves the native google / youtube IPv6 content"

as is posted above?

Long answer: That's automatically done for you by libicd-network-3g-ipv6. It just puts the dns server in /var/run/resolv.conf.gprs (where dnsmasq looks for it) instead of /etc/resolv.conf (which disables dnsmasq's cache)

Short answer: you don't have to do anything

manually editting /etc/resolv.conf is more for this method, http://n900-ipv6.garage.maemo.org/

It is not needed for the y libicd-network-3g-ipv6 method.

Is ipv6 access using the libicd method currently working? Used to work for me way back in September but now I get an "Internet Connection Failed" popup when trying it.

I had to reinstall the power kernel after updating to PR1.3. I'll have to make the error message clearer for my next update to libicd-network-3g-ipv6.

You can check to see if this is the problem by running "uname -r". If it says something like "2.6.28.10power40", that's the power kernel. If it says something like "2.6.28-omap1", that's the nokia kernel and you have to reinstall the power kernel.

If that's not the problem, let me know.

The problem was simpler... the authorization to use ipv6 on my T-mobile account had dropped out... I was re-authorized and all is well now. I am still on PR1.2... thanks for your report on PR1.3.

A friend of mine who is not a member of this forum tried to join the beta and her application was ignored. I guess they check whether you are a member here.

How do you know you were dropped?? I'm having a problem getting iPv6 access after PR 1.3 and I've even email Cameron about it. I have been running the iPv4/iPv6 setup (http://n900-ipv6.garage.maemo.org/) for a couple of months and everything was fine until the upgrade. I've gone so far as to delete the scripts and download them again and configure them and I still can't get access. It made me wonder if they dropped me for some reason. I think I will email Cameron again...
