[MLB-WIRELESS] IPv6 & Nat on FreeBSD

so what I should really be doing with my FreeBSD 4.6 box is setting up IPv6 and a firewall and not using NAT correct ??  Would this allow me  data from things such as MSN messenger (where I cant send files) to flow like normal ??

  Uh.... no, you don't.

  Unless you want to run NAT :)

  The way most tunnel brokers work is that they give you a link, and then some addresses for the machines behind the gateway so they can all be addressable.

  There is so much IPv6 space, you should never need/want to NAT.

    Hi All,

    I have been doing some reading on IPv6, now can someone tell me if I need to run NAT if IPv6 is running ??
