[ds6] Using NC6 as a circuit level proxy between IPv6 and IPv4

[Eric Vyncke]

I was trying to run NC6 to act as a layer 4 proxy between IPv6 browsers and an IPv4 web server.

nc6 -v -v --listen --port=8080 --address=3ffe:8100:105:1::11 alpha.hec.be 80

Which sounds reasonable to me but I must admit that it is a long time since I've not played with netcat...

But, it does not work:

nc6: listening on 3ffe:8100:105:1::11 8080 ...
nc6: refused connect to 3ffe:8100:105:1::11 8080 from cisco.hec.be (3ffe:8100:105:1::1) 22594 [22594]

Any idea ? Or is my usage of NC6 out of the purpose of NC6 ?

Thanks in advance for any piece of information
