Currently i am looking for an internet site that can test my IN-BOUND IPv6
connectivity
and if it can resolve my PNRP name.

Within my own network everything works fine.

Does anyone know of a good web site that can perform such a test (i.e. by
typing in a given port number)?

Thanks - these sites work ok because i "know" that i have an ipv6 address
e.g. also by PING-ing an ipv6 site.

But i want to know if my machine is reachable from outside and if my PNRP
resolves correctly.

This is in fact more difficult to test.
I can reach my machine from another computer inside my network
but this does not proove that i am reachable from outside.

Oke, second try:

I'm not an expert on this, but I assume googling on "test pnrp ipv6" or
"test ipv6 from outside" etc. will help.

Meanwhile i finally also found this:

http://www.subnetonline.com/pages/ipv6-network-tools/online-ipv6-port-scanner.php

it allows you to type in your ipv6 host IP along with a port number.

Unfortunately although i told my FritzBox that i should be reachable on
ports 1-65535,
the site still shows me that the ports are unavailable, don't understand it
...

In the mean time i found out that the mentioned test

http://www.subnetonline.com/pages/ipv6-network-tools/online-ipv6-port-scanner.php


will return an "open port" result if i have a program "listening" on the
apropriate port.

For the particular test i allowed Remote Desktop Protocol (on port 3389) and
then performed the test,
it showed me that the machine was reachable from outside.
If i uncheck RDP, the test returns a "closed port" - confusing but now i
know the reason.

Anyhow i now know that everything works fine.
