Native IPv6 Internet

So, today, I picked up my new modem at 4launch.

They opened their shop at 3 PM, and so I arrived

at the closest busstop just before 3 and walked

to the shop. Soooo.... I got my modem! yaaay!

Back home, I flashed the beta IPv6 firmware,

entered my account info, and it connected.

Native IPv6 seemed to work, on the first look.

But, looking closer, it turned out that my DSL

connection was only running at 2 Mbit, while it

is supposed to be 4 Mbit. My line speed was

only half what it was supposed to be.

Then, I tried to register my DECT phone, since

the Fritz!Box 7270 also supports DECT. For

some reason, it doesn' t want to connect to

my Fritz!Box...

But, that's not all... after a while... my modem

rebooted itself... and not only once, it kept

rebooting randomly.

So, no native IPv6 for me yet.

Let's hope a firmware upgrade solves these

problems...

For now, back on my old modem and my old IPv6 tunnel.

Remote Dreambox

So, a little story about my DreamBox. As you might know,

I recently moved to Eindhoven. My DreamBox DM-7000S

still sits in Beek, at my uncle and aunt's place. This linux based

sattelite receiver contains a hard disk and ethernet port ;) so,

it's connected to the internet. It's running the PLi image nowadays.

( http://www.pli-images.org/ ) I have used different images in the

past, but nowadays, it runs Pli. The Pli software also includes a

chttpd web server and a dropbear ssh server.

I have set up some port forwardings so I can access my box over

the internet ;)

So, on saturday, Doctor Who is aired on the BBC. I have programmed

the dreambox to record this. So, all I have to do is download it, right?

Well.. apearently not. The chttpd just went 404- File not found. The

f*cking file is there!!!! But after some trials, it turned out the chttpd

cannot serve large files. So, I have to split the files.

Remember, this is an embedded linux machine with busybox and so,

and it seems, the split command is not supported. So, I am splitting

the files using dd ;)

Splitting it into files, 1 GB is size:

dd if=Doctor_Who_-_10_04_10.ts of=1.ts count=1000 bs=1M

dd if=Doctor_Who_-_10_04_10.ts of=2.ts count=1000 bs=1M skip=1000

dd if=Doctor_Who_-_10_04_10.ts of=3.ts count=1000 bs=1M skip=2000

Well.... I hope it works. Lol. I am late. Broadcast was saturday. I started trying to download it last night, but I needed my sleep, so I am only downloading it now to my laptop here in Eindhoven.
