Do I have to register to
participate in the IPv6 test? Yes, you can register at
the IPv6
Registration page with the username and
password belonging to the traditional internet service. If you also want to set
up a home IPv6 network, in order to ensure the required address range, during
the registration please also specify the so called DUID of the host computer
(initiating the IPv6 PPPoE connection) at the „IP address range required” field. Further information on
installation and usage conditions is available at the IPv6-networks
presentation page and the T-Home forum dealing with IPv6 testing,
furthermore in the user instructions.
What devices are
required to participate in the IPv6 test? Devices provided by
Magyar Telekom: Pirelli DRG A225G and Thomson SpeedTouch 780 type digital home
gateways are capable of using the service but, additionally, IPv6 connections
can also be established using Netgear DG834 and Linksys WRT54G sets, distributed
by Magyar Telekom earlier. Further information on compatible devices and
software versions and a description of the required settings is available in
the user instructions.
What computer operating
system is required to use the IPv6 service? IPv6 PPPoE calls can
only be initiated from a computer that runs Microsoft Windows Vista, Microsoft
Windows 7, or Unix/Linux distribution operating system. Check your user instructions for further details. ATTENTION: since the traditional
internet connection (PPPoE) is initiated by a home networking device (such as
Magyar Telekom owned digital home gateway or privately owned DSL router), this
device have also to be able to support PPPoE pass-through function. Further
information on compatible devices and software versions and a description of
the required settings is available in the user instructions.
Is it possible to use
the IPv6 service without a digital home gateway or router? If the traditional
internet connection (PPPoE connection) is initiated from the customer’s
computer, then two PPPoE connections should be initiated concurrently from the
same computer. The operating system that runs on the computer initiating the IPv4
and IPv6 PPPoE connection in this case can only be a Unix/Linux distribution. Check
your user instructions for further details on
exact settings.
Can I use the IPv6
connection on more than one computers at the same time? Yes, but in this case a
home IPv6 network is to be set up. In such cases the host computer (IPv6
Gateway) establishing the IPv6 PPPoE connection
and shares its IPv6 connectivity with other connected computers. Check your
user instructions for further details on
exact settings. Remember that in this
case the so called DUID of the host computer should be registered in advance at
the IPv6 Registration page at the „IP address range
required” field.
Can the IPv6 service be
used with Windows XP operating system? Windows XP cannot be
used to establish an IPv6 capable PPPoE connection, therefore it cannot be used
as a host computer (initiating the IPv6 PPPoE connection). The IPv6 service can
only be used with Windows XP operating system (i) if the TCP/IP version 6
protocol is installed and allowed, and (ii) if it is connected to a home IPv6 network
set up according to the user instructions.
Can the IPv6 service be
used through a wireless (WiFi / WLAN) connection? The IPv6 service can
also be accessed using a computer connected via wireless connection established
with the Magyar Telekom owned digital devices described in the user instructions. If you want to connect
to the IPv6 service with one computer, then – if you have the appropriate
operating system – this computer initiates the IPv6 PPPoE connection. If you
want to use more wirelessly connected computers to access the IPv6 service then
a home IPv6 network, set up according to the user instructions is needed, where the
IPv6 connection - established by the host computer (initiating the IPv6 PPPoE connectivity)
with wireline connection to the digital gateway - is shared and works properly.
