Let me describe the situation:
When I connect the computer with the wire, I get an IPV6 address automatically, there's a "Wired connection" tab in network manager, and I can access a website that supports IPV6 (google, facebook, etc.) with a hosts file, or use the proxy like google.com.sixxs.org
But if I want to access the whole internet, I have to create a DSL connection with username and password that ISP gave me. However, after I change my connection into this DSL connection, I cannot access websites over IPV6, even there's the site's ipv6 address in /etc/hosts
, then I realize that I lose my IPV6 connection because the ping6 says connect: Network is unreachable
.
The problem is, there's no IPV6 tab or options about IPV6 in the configure of the DSL connection. It feels like I can only use one connection at the same time, but the DSL doesn't support IPV6 and the wired connection
doesn't support IPV4(I mean, there's no way to input the password the ISP gave me)
When I use another computer with MS windows, in the same environment, there's no such problem, I can access both V4 and V6 at the same time.
So how to solve this? thanks a lot.

. And you should update your Ubuntu OS to at least 14.04 LTS or 14.11.
