Question

need instructions on how to achieve this goal.

May 10, 2011 2:38AM PDT

i'm still new to linux and i have a running samba server to share my printer
i know that many packages are required but i need instruction on how to pull this off.
my goal is to share an ipv4 internet connection to an ipv6 network
and yes i have 2 nics
and use an ipv6 dhcp server to handle the client configuration
while forwarding all dns requests to my server (sharing the ipv4 internet connection) which will send them on to my dns server (and maybe cache commonly requested pages, if possible?)

share a connection
May 11, 2011 1:48PM PDT

either get dd-wrt(v24) to hand out ipv6 addresses(for my lan) and run 6 to 4 tunnel to use ipv4 on WAN
couldn't figure that one out no ipv6 checkbox using standard version Happy
or
share a connection that is ipv4(192.168.1.1 that kind) to a network that is ipv6(fe80::1496:6b2f:72fe:cd9%10 that kind) and auto-configure the clients that connect to it(hence dhcp) but my comodo dns server is ipv4 so i want to set the client dns to my server then have my server use comodo dns to fulfill the request
