Testing the IPv6 Connection
Once you have set up the FRITZ!Box and your computer for
IPv6, in the Windows operating systems you can test whether
configuration was successful using the “ping”command.
Test the IPv6 connection between the computer and the
FRITZ!Box:
1.
Press the Windows key and the R key on the keyboard at
the same time.
The “Run” window opens.
2.
In the “Open” field, enter the command “cmd” and click
“OK”.
The “Prompt” window opens.
3.
Enter the following in this window: “ping -6 fritz.box”.
If there is an IPv6 connection between the computer and the
FRITZ!Box, you receive an output with the responses of the
FRITZ!Box. The FRITZ!Box is given along with its IPv6 address
in the responses.
You can test the connection to IPv6 remote sites in the Inter-
net in the same way.

Internet into two ranges: the previous IPv4 range of the Inter-

IPv4 addresses remain available for assignment to Inter-
net users. According to estimates these will be gone in
just a few years.
•
The scarcity of addresses in the IPv4 space necessitates
the deployment of NAT (Network Address Translator).
NAT became necessary with IPv4 since the Internet Ser-
vice Provider generally assigns only one public IPv4 ad-
