Step 1: Installing MS ipv6 stack

• download ipv6, run it by clicking on the file, press extract
• the files have been extracted to C:\IPv6Kit , so go there
• you'll see a file setup.exe, don't run it, cause it won't work, but extract it using Winzip
• now you've extracted the file, you'll see some new files like ping6.exe, hotfix.exe, telnet.exe etc...
• open the file hotfix.inf and find the line: NtServicePackVersion=256
• change the value 256 to 786, save the file
• run the hotfix.exe, it'll install and you need to reboot your pc
• when done rebooting go to: Network and Dial-up Connections
• select properties of the connection you want to use ipv6 with
• select install, protocol, Microsoft IPv6 Protocol, ok, ok, ok

Step 2: Creating a tunnel using XS26.net

• go to www.xs26.net and select Create new account
• the form keeps you occupied for at least 10 minutes
  1. Capitalize your: First Name and Family Name
  2. DON'T capitalize your: Login and E-mail Address
• after 10 to 30 minutes, you'll see a new mail in you Inbox wit your password
• from this point you need to create a Maintainer object, Tunnel and Zone
• The Tunnel and the Maintainer object should create rapidly only the Zone takes longer
• If you need help just simply click on it

Step 3: Using the tunnel

• When everything is set up properly and you received a email that you zone was created successfully...
• Create a new .txt file and edit it with notepad
  net stop tcpip6
  net start tcpip6
  ipv6 rtu 2002::/16 2
  ipv6 adu 2/3ffe:80ee:1234::1
  ipv6 rtu ::/0 2/::1.2.3.4 pub life 1800
  pause
   
• 3ffe:80ee:1234::1  =>  check your zone and fill out one ip out of your range (just replace the /48 with a number)
• 1.2.3.4  =>  The ip of your POP, you can find it at the details of your tunnel
• that's all, save the file with the extension .bat and you're finished
• you can remove the pause when it only displays: ... service was stopped successfully / ... service was started successfully

Step 4: Testing

• Run the .bat file if you haven't done already
• go to the command prompt: (start, run, cmd)
• try to ping and trace some servers (ping6 2001:840::1000 / tracert6 irc.ipv6.homelien.no)
