It sounds very unlikely that your macs crash, but they may very well temporarily hang if you have a bogus configuration.

They did crash - shocking but true It is the one and only time I had to repeatedly power off via the physical power button because the force quit function wouldn't come up even with the keyboard shortcut to enable me to close the browser which was completely unresponsive every time I attempted to connect to a website. I rebooted many times and tried both Safari and Firefox. It was only because I have a PS3 that I was able to look up on its internet browser what the confliction could be and how to disable IPv6 on both Macs that I was able to use them with my new router (using IPv4 only).

What you describe is hang, not crash. I am just guessing here, it sounds like your router has firewall that blocks something it shouldn't block, like ICMP.

What happened to version 5?

IPv4. IPv5? IPv6.

Try "ipv5 wiki" on Google.

@BigD

Yes, I was a little fast in my edit. Fixed.

Anyways, it is nothing interesting really.

As for debugging your IPv6 issues with OSX, I would enable IPv6 and perform some simple tests from command line, such as making sure you actually have a global IPv6 address, that you have a default route, that you can do NS lookups, that you can ping IPv6 adresses out in the world etc.

Yes its a software problem, not a hardware problem.
network cards on Amiga uses PC chips anyway.
if it's PCI/PCIe or Zorro or PCMICA or USB has nothing to do with it the the lower levels.



os the hardware is on Level 1, IPv4 and IPv6 is on level 3, way above the hardware layer.

TCP is on level 4, TCP/IP is like this, you think of TCP is a file(part of larger package) stored in a IP (just like a floppy disk, it has limited space), you think of the TCP as part of file, the so the TCP files(packages) and give the file to apps and finally the user on top.

So one part of layer is replace on level 3, to do IPv6, luckley for Amiga community the shift to IPv6 has not been as dramatic as might have been.

Well IPv6 is software, it's not hardware.
The hardware part is Mac addresses stuff like that where you have Vendor ID, and Serial number combined into unique identifiers, so that you can assign a IP address to that unique ID.

So the difference between Mac address and Ip address is that first one (mac addresses) is like unique id, the 2en one (ip address) is like organized into networks like A,B,C,D class network, and it's all make believe it software.

No Amiga software (old software) do not have IPv6 support, because there is no IPv6 support on Amiga. So Amiga software will never have IPv6 support until there IPv6 software stack.

there is lot software on Linux that can't ported to AmigaOS because the TCP/IP stack is outdated, does support the latest DNS lookups command or IPv6, so the lack of IPv6 stack stops software to be ported to AmigaOS.

It a bit like you cannot make car with having an engine or wheals.
