The best test to see if your IPv6 configuration efforts were successful is to fire up a Web browser and visit an IPv6-enabled Web site. A good choice is the Web site for the KAME project at http://www.kame.net/. When using IPv6, you should see the famous “dancing kame” (turtle). You’ll be told whether you’re using IPv4 or IPv6 as seen by the remote server at the bottom of the page. The supplied Web browsers for all operating systems support and prefer IPv6 when available: Windows (Internet Explorer), Linux and FreeBSD (Firefox, Mozilla, Konqueror, or Lynx), and MacOS 10.4 (Safari). Older versions of Apple’s Web browser Safari will connect to IPv6-only servers over IPv6 but prefer IPv4, so the KAME won’t dance. See Chapter 6 for more information on IPv6-enabled Web browsers and other applications.
