IPv6 not using actual IP address

IPv6 is active by default and uses an IP address that is not the actual IP address. This means we cannot configure a proxy script file to correctly work. Our only solution is to ban Firefox from compay computers and no longer support.

Hi, Ignore my config. The problem is with all IPv6 supported versions and mostly PC versions. My organisation has 6000 staff and those with laptops can't use firefox because the IP address Firefox gives is not the true address and therefore not covered in our automatic proxy configuration script - so the browser does not route via the proxy server or send direct as it should.

    Why can I not use my icloud address as my apple ID?

    This answer is probably the most popular one on the forum.  But apparently, this is a view not shared by virtually anyone else in the industry.  You can pretty much point to the same risks at stake for Google, Microsoft, Yahoo, or what-have-you.  No one else requires you to use a primary account other than their own. 
    The predicament you mentioned could easily be resolved by requiring multiple contact numbers and addresses, which Apple kind of does already.
    My thinking is there's either something more 'sinister' at play, or Apple just haven't really took the time to think about this issue.

  • InetAddress.getLocalHost retrieving 127.0.0.1, not the actual IP Address

    I am using the following code :
    try{
              InetAddress iaddr = InetAddress.getLocalHost();
              String ipaddr = iaddr.getHostAddress();
              System.out.println("IP= "+ipaddr);
              }catch(UnknownHostException ex){
                   ex.getMessage();
    to get the IP address of the server on which this code is running.
    We are actually trying to set up different machines (other than the Production machine) for Failover of the Application. So, we need to get the IP address of the machine on which the application is running in the code.
    For one machine, the above code works perfectly OK.
    But, for the three Production machines, the IP address that we are retrieving using the getLocalHost function is fetching the localhost and not the IP address of the machine. That is instead of fetching the IP � a.b.c.d (I am not writing the actual IP in this mail :) ) ... it is fetching the localhost 127.0.0.1 .
    So we need to find out a way to fetch the actual IP address so that failover can work.
    FYI, all of the machines are Solaris machines.

  • Emond/afctl not showing actual ip address

    Here's one weird emond (?) problem. I get those lines in the log:
    Nov 18 03:15:21 myserver emond[57]: Host at ssh2 will be blocked for at least 15.00 minutes
    I'm trying to understand how it manages to replace the real IP address that's making attempts to connect via ssh repeatedly with a name.
    There are also a couple of properly formatted entries that supposedly work but this "host at ssh2" obviously never gets blacklisted because one cannot do that (it's not a local host). I see a lot of activity coming from a very specific real IP that has a correct rDNS pointer and I assume that's the host it's trying to block but somehow it gets it wrong.
    Any advice?
    PS. afctl -a IP -t time command works fine on both black- and whitelists.
    And I also get
    reverse mapping checking getaddrinfo for 165.50.174.61.dial.wz.zj.dynamic.163data.com.cn [61.174.50.165] failed - POSSIBLE BREAK-IN ATTEMPT!
    in secure.log.
    So what's going on? Is it that it tries to convert IP address to a name and then the name back to IP address and when it fails everything fails?

  • Why use link-local addressing for HSRP in IPv6?

    I have scoured the internet for an answer to this question, and am no closer to having it answered.  Am hoping someone here can help!
    * Why do we use link-local (or autoconfig) addresses for the standby IP in FHRPs?  If you are forwarding a packet towards a link-local destination address, wouldn't the source address then have to be a link-local address from the same prefix, which according to scope, should not route beyond the local link?  How do you route an IP packet that has a link-local address for a source address?
    Any insight would be much appreciated.
    Thank you in advance.

    Dougles,
    next hop is used for reaching "gateway" that know where to send packets farther (read it as "next hop to the destination")... routing in IPvX is hopping between nodes where every hop is closer to destination... This is theory behind.
    So as machine that needs to send packet to "not directly connected destination" you only need to send packet to gateway leading to this destination...
    so you need to send packet so, that "gateway" will recieve this packet and gateway then send this packet farther... it is not important what IP address this gateway has.
    On ethernet you only need to know MAC address of this gateway and you send packet (with your source IPv6 address and intended destination IPv6 address) encapsulated with "destination MAC address" of gateway. When gateway recieve ethernet frame, and this frame is for it (destination MAC address is its MAC address), the gateway will proceed IP header (inside IP header the gateway see IT is not final destination for this packet, and gateway will route this packet).
    So configuring IP address as next hop is just "hleper for simpler administration".. MAC address of gateway is important. In IPv4 address resolution protocol (ARP) is used to automaticly get MAC address of gateway if you configure next hop as IP address. In IPv6 there is neighbor discovery protocol(ND) used for this task.
    conclusion: you can use link local address as nex hop address for addresses from any scope ... next hop is just next hop, it is not used just for the same scope communication.
    And question is... if we need just information about MAC address of gateway, why to ask using global address?
    We need to get MAC address... that is information important just "locally"... so to ask for local information, why not use link local address ?
    HSRP is the same case... really just need MAC address to send packets correctly.

    On windows XP or linux have a MAC adress Change function  allow 00 mac adress and another normal mac adress range.On windows 8.1 all Mac changer program dont work.This 2,6,A,E on second adress are not vaild Mac adress. You simply can not use normal MAC
    addresses on windows 8.1.When i connect the usb the Pc windows 8.1 recognizes the adapter but the default  driver and the downloaded ralink driver the same problem.On windows xp the current driver works perfectly have (Local Mac Network Adress) funktion
    and works with the 802.11b hot spot.I got the internet my PC and laptop too public HotSpots and another wifi HotSpots if wont work correctly i can not use neither the windows 7,8,8.1 or 10. Many users have expressed interest in the problem more forums.
    The 3. problem im tested in virtualbox the windows 7 and 8.1 on 8.1 (on the blue wifi platform) not show correctly the signal strengh. On windows 7 show this correctly.The windows 7-8.1 Configure/advanced the advanced options on Ralink 3070 the default (windows
    driver) somehow downgraded function is less than for Xp. Configure/advanced the advanced options (needs to be upgraded in the future) because it does not advance but rather regressed.
    Today it is very common these wi-fi technology increasingly used (hotels,Public Hots Spots,Internet coffe,) growing free bublic wifi projects. The wifi funktions on windows  need debugging and modernize.The quality of Wi-Fi is now the operating system

    Hi,
    For changing the MAC address for Windows 7 is designed with some limitation, we cannot get over it. Thanks for your understanding.
    Under Windows 7, the possible range of spoofed addresses for wireless adapters that can be set is limited.  To be used by Windows 7, a spoofed MAC address should have 0 as a least significant bit (unicast) and 1 as a second least significant
    bit (locally administered) in the second nibble.  Thus possible values for the second nibble are limited to 2, 6, A and E.
    In other words 
    MAC address:  “XY-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX” “X” can be anything hexadecimal.  The hexadecimal “Y”, written in binary format, is  Y:  “kmnp”,  where “p” is the least significant bit; 
    p=0 --> unicast;
    p=1 --> multicast;
    n=0 --> globally assigned MAC;
    n=1 --> locally administered;
    So, actually MAC can be changed  to any combination in which p=0 and n=1;
    “Y” can be 2, 6, A or E.
    So the possible MAC addresses in Windows 7 for wireless adapters:
    X2-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX
    X6-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX
    XA-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX
    XE-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX
    For the wifi hotspot issue, please check this blog to see if it can be helpful.

  • How do I set the "reply to" field in the iPad 2 Mail app?  I use an email forwarding service (not an actual email account) that I would like people to reply to.

    How do I set the "reply to" field in the iPad 2 Mail app?  I use an email forwarding service (not an actual email account) that I would like people to reply to, so setting up an account with the correct reply-to address doesn't work because there's no associated outgoing mail server.  I had this working under iOS4 but it seems to have disappeared when I upgraded to iOS5.

    Welcome to the forum, NicoleYM. I don't think the Touch Mail has as many options as the Mac Mail app. However, you could set a standard signature. Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Signature. There you can type a reply address and hope people see it.
    Alternatively, you can go to your GMail account in your web browser and click on Settings > Forwarding and POP/IMAP. There you will have an option to forward all emails (or only some, if you set up a filter) to your other address.
    Good luck!

  • Getting error while accessing a webpage by using link local address of ipv6

    Hello,
    I want to access my login.jsp by using ipv6 address.
    when i am accessing my web page by using loop back or localhost6(like the following) it is working.
    http://[::1]:8080/test/login.jsp //for loopback
    http://localhost6:8080/test/login.jsp
    But when i am accessing my webpage by using link local address as following i am not getting my web page.
    http://[fe80::201:6cff:fe0f:d7ae%eth0]:8080/test
    or
    http://[fe80::201:6cff:fe0f:d7ae]:8080/test
    For the above case is there any solutions????

    Whatever i have mentioned these are correct. My ipv6 address is also correct.From browser only i am accessing.>
    Not a Java issue, then. Your problem I'm afraid.
    But how do you know they're correct? Given that one of them isn't working, I'd triple check it if I were you.

  • Pinging local hostname resolves to loopback and not actual ip address

    When I'm on the a server and I try to ping it by name (server1) it resolves to ::1,  when I expect it to resolve to the actual IP address (eg. 10.10.5.6).  The hosts file is default with everything remmed out.  I can add an entry to my
    local host file:
    10.10.5.6 server1
    But is this by design?,  or is there some configuration setting I have wrong?

    Hello,
    use "ping -4 server1" instead to call the IPv4 address.
    By default IPv6 is used on the new version from Windows and if IPv6 is enabled, which is recommended, this interface will answer with the loopback ::1. So what you see is correct.

  • OUTLOOK 2010. Does not reply to emails using the same address that received it.

    Hello,
    Since last week our Outlook accounts are not working properly, when users reply a message it does not reply using the same address that received it, it appears the personal account instead.
    We are using exchange accounts, using Outlook 2010  and the accounts affected are automapped to a principal account (.ost).
    We already tried to recreate outlook .ost profile, repair Outlook installation, reinstall Office.
    Can somebody help?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    We have received many reports as your description since last week. It sounds like the sending behavior in Outlook 2010 has been changed by some Windows/Office update and goes back to the behavior before.
    Before we go any further, I have to mention some of the history for Outlook 2010. In Outlook 2010 without SP1, Mailto’s will use the default/principal account for message when you use Microsoft Outlook 2010 which has multiple accounts delivered to different
    data file. However, in later version (Outlook 2010 SP1/SP2), Outlook doesn’t use the default account set in Account settings for new messages. Instead, it uses the account associated with the mailbox or *.pst file you have in focus.
    Actually, this behavior is controlled by the registry keys. At this point, I suggest we check the following registry entries are exist and set it to the proper value.
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook\Options\Mail
    DWORD value: NewItemsUseDefaultSendingAccount
    Value type: REG_DWORD: 1 for force, 0 to disable.
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\14.0\outlook\options
    Value Name: ForceAccountSelection
    Value type: REG_DWORD: 1 for force, 0 to disable.
    Close the registry editor and restart Outlook to check if the behavior what you want would come back.
    In addition, our Outlook MVP, Diane Poremsky has written an article with more detail information:
    http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/outlook-2010/multiple-accounts-and-the-default-account/
    By the way, we still cannot figure out which update is the root of the issue, if someone could test it and share the result here, I would appreciate that. Feel free to post back.
