ok, i signed up at sixxs, signed up for my tunnel, waited a few days, got it, then started to try it out. i have everything installed ok i think as i can hook up. i do get an error mssg at the very end of connecting that says "warning" error opening registry key: system\current control set\control\class\4d36e97(this # is to long to type)\propertys\t1 warning found 0 count 0 error tun start tap-win 32 adapter not configured properly but im not sure thats my issue. i tried to connect to a newsgroup so i typed in "netsh interface portproxy add v4tov6 listenport=119 connectaddress=newszilla6.xs4all.nl connectport=119 " and i get my error mssg "the requested operation requires elevation" this is the 1st time i have used ipv6 connections, so its all new to me. i like to complexity of it all. i just dont know what if anything i did wrong, so please give me a hand. also im a bit lost, once i connect to the newsgroup in the console window, do i open up a new editor like newsbin or xnews? i have looked everywhere for instructions on how to connect and use newsgroups via a ipv6 connection and i cant find anything that tells you how it really works. any help would be cool. thanks in advabce for any help.
