No can't ping either
Using ping6 cmd from terminal on a machine on the LAN to the server using its WAN address works
Using its Link Local Address gives me errors see below
$ ping6 fe80::3e07:54ff:fe04:de8c
PING6(56=40+8+8 bytes) fe80::ae87:a3ff:fe21:27d8%en0 --> fe80::3e07:54ff:fe04:de8c...
I still leaning on the IPv6 stuff so I may be getting it wrong but I think I'm talking LAN to LAN. Let me expand
I have a server on a Mac that controls my IP cameras
It has a IPv6 link local address and a coupe of WAN IPv6 address (privacy extension and EUI-64)
From another machine on my LAN I...
John are you saying you can use the fe80 link-local address to access clients ?
I can only access servers on my LAN via their public IPv6 (EUI-64 format is fixed so works well) address.
Trying to use their link-local address fails, but I thought from our conversations on firewalls some posts...
you have to think in a slightly different way with IPv6
Most device will get more than ONE IPv6 address
A link local starting FE80: which cant be reached from the internet
A private IPv6 address which as addressable from the internet but will change a preset intervals, to protect the privacy of...
John did you mean."Hardware Acceleration" mine says "NAT Acceleration" with those options
Assuming that was a type then that explains why I had no issues loading the beta firmware as I have options for Disable/CTF Level 1/CTF Level 2 and hence my router supports CTF-FA on that premise

John Nice work Sir
Happy to report that a IPV6 firewall rule opening a port for an address of ::xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx does indeed allow the request to pass to the designated endpoint
Perfect thank you
Does it require a NVRAM clear or can it be installed straight over the current firmware
If the later I can try it quickly otherwise I may have to wait until I return from my business trip next week
