(id FreebsdBeni, username n=FreeBSD, hostname > 213.219.143.49.adsl.dyn.edpnet.net) Even if you have properly setup/configured a tunnel to provide IPv6, does not mean that IPv4 goes away. You are running in dual stack mode (both IPv4, and IPv6 active) You may want to read up a little bit on IPv6 details and background in the FreeBSD handbook http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/network-ipv6.html and in the go6.net wiki (among lots of other good IPv6 articles. Google is your friend here.) http://wiki.go6.net/index.php?title=IPv6_transition_mechanisms Most applications that are IPv6 aware will default to using IPv6 if everything is setup properly. This includes giving an IPv6 capable DNS name to your IRC client. (ipv6.chat.us.freenode.net and ipv6.chat.eu.freenode.net are a few that are IPv6) I'm not much of an IRC user myself, but I see that several of the ports of xchat are IPv6 enabled. You did not specify what version of Xchat you are using, so I can't comment further there. Make sure you are using a version of xchat that supports IPv6, and that you are using the appropriate IPv6 freenode DNS name. You can also find a listing of IPv6 capable application ports over on http://www.freshports.org/ipv6/ > > And that is not a ipv6 address. So what am I missing here ? Is it my config or > is my isp converting my ipv6 back to ipv4 ? It is your config. An ISP can not really "automagically" change you from IPv6 to IPv4 when you have a tunnel active. You do not provide an ifconfig for your tunnel interface (tun0), so it is hard to tell what your configuration looks like. Can you ping6 the site in question ?
