A good possibility... Do you have any idea what OS he's running?
I'll reach out and see if I can assist.

I'm wondering if he has a router that he can't disable the firewall
on. That's where I would look first, because routers should block all incoming IPv6 traffic by default.
And there should be firewall controls (often erroneously called "IPv6
port forwarding") to open up individual ports, or disable the firewall
for a particular IPv6 host.
Andrew has native IPv6 from Comcast, just like Michael Pierce, so they
may have the same or a similar router. Andrew is the right one to
provide the helping hand...
Mischael said he was connected to this echo, but I do not see him yet. There may be broken links...
I'm using a Netgear WNDR3700 v4 with OpenWRT firmware. Some of
Comcast's WiFi routers are known to be buggy, which is why I made them give me a modem and used my own router.
Mischael said he was connected to this echo, but I do not see him
yet. There may be broken links...
When I netmail him I will ask what he's using.

The early routers often had no firewall for IPv6 at all, but those
should be history by now. Everything less tham five years old should
have a firewall that blocks all incoming IPv6 by default.
I have yet to come across a router with an IPv6 firewall that does not have an option to selectively open ports for incoming. It may be a bit hard to find though because indeed it often is maisnamed "port forwarding" and sometimes combined with the IPv4 port forwarding and sometimes it is in a completey different menu.

Ah, that is good. Here the best they can do is disable the router function in the CPE they give you. Then you can use your own router,
but then you are IPv4 only. There is an EU law in the making that will compell ISPs to allow customers to buy their own modem/routers but at this time it is unclear how that will evolve. In Germany a law against "Zwangsrouter" has been in effect for some time now. About a year IIRC. It seems to work.

As you may know by now I'm on fibre (is it OK if I spell it fiber?)
and I was sure that my new ISP was going to give me native IPv6. But
not. I've questioned all my 20+, available on my open fiber, ISPs and
not a single one has responded positively.
So here I am, stuck with a he.net tunnel...
I'm lucky, the node is relatively close and I'm not far off the 100/40 I'm paying for (usually around 90/35 sync speed in practice), and 80/30 actual throughput to nearby sites.
Bj”rn Felten wrote to Tony Langdon <=-
At least I'm lucky with that respect. I pay for 100/100 and I
usually get 125/125.
But then I know, of course, that I'm one of the first nodes to be connected with this new fibre. When the rest of my neighbours are connected (some 50 or so) I don't think I'll get such a positive
result. 8-)

Interesting. Here, different ISPs do different things.
The supplied router is often tweaked specifically for an ISP,
sometimes with customised (often "brain dead") firmware, but I am yet
to encounter a case where I couldn't substitute a third party router.
When I was on cable (pre-2010), the modem was only a bridge, so I
could add my own router to it (which in those days was a customised
Linux box :) ).
My own ISP does sell routers, but you're not compelled to use their offerings. If you buy from them, the router comes configured so it
will "just work", and they guarantee all of the gear they sell is IPv6 capable. But there's nothing stopping you from using anything else if
you prefer.
Yes I do. But all fibres are sooner or later connected to each
other -- when for instance thousands of iPhone owners suddenly all are
updating there phones it shows...
I had absolutely no idea that it was so difficult to get IPv6, I
was under impression that you always got it with the fibre.
All Swedish IXs are IPv6 ready, it's the ISPs that are waiting as
long as possible.

Hmm.. I see that I should have been more specific than "they" in the
2nd sentence of the quote above.
I was talking about my ISP. Here there is just one ISP on the cable.
That is the "they" I meant above. But there also is xDSL available on
the old copper from the POTS era. On the old POTS copper one has a
choice of about a dozen ISPs. Albeit at lower speed...
My first cable modem was a Motorola Surfboard. Indeeed just a bridge after which I had my own router. The modem was on loan from the ISP,
the router was my own. Now "they" only have modems with a build in router. They do not sell them, you get them on loan.
Most xDSL providers have the same or a similar policy. Some of them
even offer full stack native IPv6.
The reason I stay with the cable is that they have an attractive "all
in one" offer. TV + Telephone + internet. With much more bandwith than xDSL.
No fiber in this area... And no IPv6 on any of the mobile providers...
So he is running Linux.
I'll reach out and see if I can assist.

In the meantime he got back to me via netmail and reported that the problem was indeed a firewall issue. He now accepts incoming binkp
IPv6.
But there seems to be a broken link in this area. He says he posted several messages...

Cool, glad it was a simple fix.

Hmm, bummer. :(

It may not have been easy for him.
My imprewssion is that he is relatively new to Fidonet and that he has not yet gotten all of the basics yet.

I am trying to pry some relevant information from him. Such as who is
his uplink, does he see any messages at all there, if so what are the seen by and path, etc etc...
I have disabled the firewall so I should be able to receive now in ipv6
Do you see an inbound IPv6 connaction from my mailer?

I just polled your node from the command line with jsexec. The output scrolled off my screen and I get no logging when I poll that way from the command line but I did connect to your mailer.

Opps. I see your post was from April. Not sure why I just got it.. but I got it today.. :)

I did show a connect but it resolved to your IP4 address
you might try fluxcap.synchro.net as Digital Man has added ipv6 support for synchronet

if I disable IPV6 firewall. everything works
but I really don't want to have do that
