We're running out of IP addresses




IPv6 is fast approaching! For as far as I can remember, IP addresses are all xxx.xx.xxx.x. You don't normally need to know anything about it, except when you need to setup a home network... connect a router .. all those "behind the scene" stuff.

If you use a home network of any sort, I guess it's important to run this test and see whether you are (and your internet service provider (ISP)) is IPv6 compatible. No good if you're ISP is ready, but your home network is not!


if you get the same screen as I did (7/10, which I got), I guess you're ok, "No problems are anticipated for you"
