Does 10.6.8 support DHCPv6?

I saw in the release notes for 10.6.8 that IPv6 support was "improved." Unfortunately, I don't see any specifics as to what these improvements were. Has DHCPv6 support been added?
Anyone who uses OS X with IPv6 on a Cisco router will greatly appreciate not having to manually add their DNS IP address manually.

Kappy I do appreciate you taking the time to respond to my question, and I don't mean to sound rude, but that IPv6 test doesn't have anything to do with DHCPv6. Everything between your AEBS and your Mac was likely configured using stateless address autoconfiguation (SLAAC,) which is not DHCPv6.
Here's an explanation of the difference between DHCPv6 and SLAAC from the DHCPv6 wikipedia entry:
DHCPv6 is the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol for IPv6. Although IPv6's stateless address autoconfiguration can also be used to acquire IPv6 access, DHCPv6 may be a more suitable solution to assign addresses, nameservers and other configuration information as being done today with DHCP for IPv4. A notable case is Domain Name System servers used on a network, albeit other mechanisms exist for this in the Neighbor Discovery Protocol.[1]. At the time of writing, Microsoft Windows does for example only support the method used with DHCPv6 and not RDNSS with stateless address autoconfiguration.
The only reason I ask this question now is because IPv6 enhancements were reported in 10.6.8. From what I have seen in the packet captures I've done here, the "managed config flag" bit is set in the router advertisements, which means my MacBook should be using DHCPv6 for additional configuration, however it is not.
So basically all signs point to 10.6.8 still not supporting DHCPv6, but I was hoping that had changed with 10.6.8's IPv6 "improvements."

  • Does Airport Extreme 802.11ac support DHCPv6 prefix delegation

    I have IPv6 working with my Airport Extreme 802.11ac. I'm experimenting (for fun) with IPv6 on my local network, and I was trying to create another IPv6 subnet using DHCPv6 prefix delegation.
    Comcast (my ISP) is indeed delegating a 64-bit prefix to the Airport Extreme, but the Airport Extreme does not seem capable of sub-delegating that 64-bit prefix (into say 2 65-bit prefixes, or 4 66-bit prefixes, etc).
    Is the Aiport Extreme 802.11ac is capable of sub-delegating IPv6 prefixes like this?

    I have the exact same problem with my ISP (Init7) here in Switzerland. They delegating IPv6 adresses via DHCPv6-PD (Prefix Delegation) and my Apple AirPort Extreme just get only an IPv4 address.
    Since the worldwide use of IPv6 is rising steadily, I really hope Apple will wake up and update the firmware of its AirPort devices to support DHCPv6-PD.

  • Does the RV180 support DHCPv6-PD with firmware 1.0.3.10?

    Hello-
    I am running a SOHO on Comcast and wish to get IPv6 working.  I have read some old posts around the 'net stating that the Cisco RV180 does not support DHCPv6-PD, and that this is needed to successfully use IPv6 with Comcast.  Firmware 1.0.3.10 was released in late July 2013.  I don't see anything in the release notes stating that DHCPv6-PD support was added, so I suspect it was not.  Can anyone confirm that it still does not?  Does anyone know if it will be added in the near future (say 6 months?)
    Thanks!

    I can confirm that it does not.  Been working with Tuska (from Comcast) on this for over a year and no word from Cisco on whether they plan to build the functionality into the next firmware build or not.  Tuska has formally requested Cisco make this update.  Very disappointed in the black hole that Cisco has allowed this to fall into.  This is supposed to be a business product (why I purchased it), I expected more.
    Just ordered a new router to replace my RV180 since I see no hope of Cisco getting it together.  I think Cisco is more interested in supporting their large corporate accounts and have abandoned supporting SOHO (as evident with the sale of Linksys to Belkin).  

  • Does the 6600GT-VTD128 support video capture?

    Hi,
    I recently purchased an MSI 6600GT-VTD128 video card.  The product information seems to suggest that the card has video input capabilities, and there is an adapter that plugs into the card that has a number of connections, one of which is labeled S-Video in.  However, I haven't been able to get any video capture to work.
    Does the card actually support this functionality?  If not, what are the video input connections for?  If so, is there some documentation as to how to set it up?  
    So far, I tried installing the video capture drivers that come with the card.  I checked the manual.  I checked the MSI web site FAQs.  And I searched the forums.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Daniel

    Thanks Richard.  Yes I do have a breakout cable like that.  Actually, I described it in my original message.  So, I am guessing from your message that you believe that the card should have the capability to capture video.  
    In my original message, I asked if there was any documentation on setting up the card for video capture.  The manual does not describe the procedure, nor does the MSI web site.  
    There are drivers on the CD that claim to be for video capture, but they had no effect when I installed them.  In fact, there appears to be no way to tell whether the drivers were actually installed successfully.
    If anyone out there has successfully used this card for video capture, please let me know.

  • Does Sender Mail Adapter support "PayloadZipBean" module

    Hi everyone,
    I have a scenario where, I get the email with an zip file as an attachment and I need to extract this file and send across. There is no mapping transformation done here, only I need to forward the attached file to the file server.
    Zip file always contains 1 file and is a text file.
    so Its an Email to File Scenario.
    Can I send the zip file as it is without unzipping i.e., send the attachment as iit is to the file server?
    If I want to unzip the file, does the module "PayloadZipBean" support in case of sender mail adapter. ?
    Thanks,
    Varun

    Hi Varun,
    Use "PayloadZipBean " Module at Receiver Communication Channel  in the Module Tab Set the "Module Key.mode =  unzip"
    and Receiver communication Channel file should be "FileName.txt".

  • Get an Error window, The source folder does not contain any supported camera raw files

    I am using CS2 and it would not open up my latest RAW files, I was getting a warning Could not complete your request because it is not the right kinds of document. So, I checked the Camera Raw Plug-in and it says Version 3.7. I see that my camera an Olympus E-20 is supported. But it is not opening the Raw files, the day before I took jpeg and they have opened. I will not trash my Adobe Photoshop CS2 because it was a royal pain to install and I don't know where the CD is.
    I installed the latest DNG Converter and when I try to open up the folder which has all the RAW images that didn't open in Adobe, I still get an Error window that says, "The source folder does not contain any supported camera raw files." Why? It says it supports my Olympus E-20. I actually have the E-20n, I don't think that is the problem. My RAW icons usually show up as small image thumbnails and this time they are gray icons only with the incorrect date under the icon. Is there another product I can use without spending money? These images I took in RAW were special and I don't want to lose them. Please help!
    Esther

    Hello, I was using only CS2 with my Olympus E-20n for 5 years, no problem. It just started acting up in RAW this year. I downloaded Picasa that same day and now it seems to be opening up all of my RAW files that didn't open the other day. So, I think Picasa installed a new plug-in adaption to CS2 because now all my RAW icons have a new logo on them, the same one that's in Picasa. Strange, but it works now and I am not complaining anymore. I love CS2 and the many ways I can adjust RAW files, so I am using it, Picasa is a sideline now that I can take a look at many thumbnails and it organized all my photo files by the year and folders. Amazing free software. I have probably 60,000 images in my computer and an external hard drive and Picasa picked them all up and made a library, cool.

  • Does 10.5.6 Support Dual displays for Radeon 9800 Pro Mac Edition cards?

    Does 10.5.6 Support Dual displays for Radeon 9800 Pro Mac Edition cards?
    And is there driver updates for anyone using the all-in-ones HP printers...has anyone been able to use their scanners since the update? and has the dual screen support been added to avoid the blue screen on startup?

    The ATI Radeon 9600 PC/Mac edition 256 MB should work in the MDD G4. It has two DVI ports (one is dual-link and can support a 30" display). You will need adapters for ADC displays.

    It's the default sort order. You can choose chronological order( ascending or descending) or by Import batch or by filename. Contrary to older versions, those sort orders are available not only in thumbnail view, but also in Folders view and albums. In albums you can sort as you like 'custom order'. No difference in Mac or Win.
