Ipv6 private network - ipv4 public network

Hii,

Is it possible to configure a Linksys WRT54G(S) so it could route a private
network with ipv6 ip adresses and a public internet network with ipv4
adresses?

Why do I need it?
Well, our ISP gives us 5 internet ip adresses. So we have configured or
router as an acces point now. This means the internet modem is plugged in a
LAN port of the router. So the 5 computers all get an own internet ip adress.
It's usefull for games. But the problem is; the internet ip's are given by 2
different gateways. So it isn't possible to acces all the computers at the
same time on the network because of the different ranges.
So I thought: if I tell the router to make an ipv6 connection with the
computers so we've got a private network, is it possible then that all the
computer still get their ipv4 internet ip provided by the ISP gateways?
So every computer is connected in the private ipv6 network and also connect
to the internet using ipv4.

How do I have to configure it?
Wich firmware do I need for the linksys router?

I hope it's clear :)

If this isn't a solution, are there other solutions to see the computers
with different ip ranges is the same network? I know this could be fixed with
dhcp but we're not going to use it :p

Hi Koen,

If the Linksys is working as a WiFi Access Point, then there's no configuration
necessary. A WAP is a layer 2 device, and transmits everything regardless of IP
settings. IPV4 and IPV6 should be transparent.

Are you going to be doing file sharing between your computers? I'm not saying
that you can't do that over IPV6, but every time someone comes here for advice
about file sharing not working, and we find IPV6 on his computer, removing IPV6
is almost always part of the solution. Vista is supposed to use IPV6 properly;
XP is not so reliable.

If you have multiple computers, each getting service from your ISP separately, I
wonder if we can't find a simpler solution. Try using IPX/SPX for file sharing,
and forget about IPV6.

Ok thx

But where can i find nwlink driver on the windows xp professional cd?
I know it should be in the protocol/install list but I need the inf and sys
file on the cd.
I can try to install it on windows vista too then because it's no longer
supported.

Koen,

Are you writing about Vista, or XP? On XP, you hit Install, then select
Protocol, hit Add, select "NWLink IPX/SPX...", and it installs. Vista is
another story.

But for Vista, shouldn't you post in
microsoft.public.windows.vista.networking_sharing?
 
Yea,

Our first problem was xp related. But now I know how to install it on
windows xp. But we've also got one windows vista pc. But vista no longer
supports it. But isn't it possible to steal the windows xp driver and install
it on vista :p Because you can still install netbui on vista.
I only don't know where those drivers are located at.
