default dns server for ip v6?

Posted by FarzinSB, 11-01-2010, 11:56 AM
hi , what is the default dns server ip for ip v6 ? i need some ip address like 4.2.2.4 or ips like that which is available for ip v4 . leaseweb data center gave me ip v6 , because they dont give me enouph ip v4 , and i am confused with how to use it . first i had windows 2003 , i have installed ip v6 support on it and it could ping the gateway of the given ip v6 , but i couldnt setup a ip v6 on it via the network management interface and i found a tutorial for using netsh , but i didnt want using it . instead i have installed a new vps with windows server 2008 and now i can assign a ip v6 to the local area adapter but still dont know how should i setup dns in a way that i can ping google.com from inside that vps. and i dont have the default dns server for version 6 ips to give it to the localadapter dns setting. i`ll appreciate any helps. thanks in advanced.

to use services on your ipv6 address, you can can still use ipv4 nameservers as long as they return the relevant record for the requested host (an AAAA record instead of an A)

hi , thanks but see my case , i have installed a new vps with win server 2008 , data center donot give me more than 10 ipv4 on my server and instead gave me 65000 ip v6 for free ! . so i need to access internet on that win vps via a ip version 6. i have set firewal and network settings and now i have the ping of that ip v6 which is set on local area adapter . but when i set ip v6 as static it wants me to give dns to it aswell. and it donot accept ip v4 dnses like 4.2.2.4 in that field. also i have set this dns on ip v4 specification but yet the vps donot detect internet and cannot ping google.com for example. so i need a default dns for ip v6
