IPv6/Teredo Configuration.

[Wa7idminuae]

Hello Everyone,

I'm a Vista user asking about if there was any further configuration needed for the IPv6/Teredo. It says in the log that IPv6 is installed. I am having this speed problem and was wondering if there is anything related to Teredo, or does it auto-configures ?

I am behind a router so i have set a static IP to port forward in IPv4 but what about IPv6 ? Vista says it is limited . Does it have to do with the speed issue i am having maybe ?

I hope i can find answers to this matter here, thank you very much .

Did you try "ipconfig /all" (Run > cmd)?

[Wa7idminuae]

Ok,, done that,, i do understand the IPv4 configuration from what i see but where should i look for the IPv6 in the cmd ?

[moogly]

Do you see an IPv6 IP in uT log after "Teredo installed"?

ipconfig is just to set or grabb some info.

[Wa7idminuae]

Ya it just says in the log that " IPv6 is installed" . When i click in the options of µtorrent to install Teredo it says in the log : "Could not setup teredo, result was : [The requested operation requires elevation.] ."

[moogly]

But you don't have "Got Teredo address [2000:XXXX]" where xxx is a sequence of characters ?

[Wa7idminuae]

No man . For the time being µtorrent is idle i am not downloading/uploading anything too.

Does this mean Teredo is not installed ?

[moogly]

No I think it's not a pbm if you dont have Teredo. I'm in the same case like you and my UL/DL speeds are really good.

And even if you run uT as an admin (righ click the icon on your desktop), you will not get a Teredo address. Pretty sure of that, you can test it, but pretty sure.

I think it's about Teredo hosts, there are offen offline. I got a Teredo address during 2 weeks and since September, nothing. Maybe the router or stg like that...

Alright man ,, Thank you, you've been helpful. I do still have problems not maxing out OpenOffice test torrents but um, i think that should be posted in the Speed Problems Forum.

I want to ask you, in Vista would there be any difference between running µtorrent normally ( like double-clicking the icon from the desktop ) or running it as admin ? I mean does it mean it affects Speed in any way ?

Have you looked at this in regards to Teredo? http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?pid=374962#p374962

[Wa7idminuae]

Yes, i have had come across this thread today, thank you .

So would there be any difference if i run µtorrent normally or as an Administrator regarding Speed or anything else maybe ?

[GTHK]

Only difference would be permissions on files, if the permissions are messed up/wrong on a folder, you wouldn't be able to download to that folder under certain accounts. If you're just going to stay admin, from a µTorrent standpoint that's probably fine. From a security standpoint? >->

[Wa7idminuae]

Ya sure,, nobody uses my system except me, i am having this Speed Problem with OpenOffice not maxing out my download speeds like they used to in my older system under XP.

So running µtorrent normally or as Admin has no effect on Speed right ?

[moogly]

No effect on speed, admin rights are related to OS and files, not connection.

[Wa7idminuae]

Alright, thankss,,,

Now if i just could make µtorrent work with the test torrents like the OpenOffice...

Thank you all .

Use the Settings Guide of Switeck to configure uT:

You need to know your max UL speed.

[Wa7idminuae]

Ya i know my max upload speed i easily portforwarded to always get the green icon.

Maybe i will make a new post, under Speed Problems forum but some other time; this chemical will put me to sleep soon , thank you Moogly .
