    what about pro version?

    set teredo professionalclient ... maybe?

    i have been trying to activate my windows 8 for ages and i seem to be the only person who cannot do it!
    keeps giving me the message about kms server not responding error, etc.

    anyone able to help me out pretty please with a cherry on top?!

    I have tried the gogoclient, but it wont even connect for some odd reason and i have followed the steps over and over to a T. Even rebooted and tried several times again, but still nothing.

    i have tried all of the following:
    1- go here (gogo6.com/freenet6/registration) and register (need for gogoClient program)

    2- then go here (gogo6.com/profile/gogoCLIENT) and download gogoCLIENT - Basic Version - run in windows 7 compatibility mode to install.

    3- run gogoCLIENT and in for Server Address put this: amsterdam.freenet6.net, montreal.freenet6.net, broker.freenet6.net or sydney.freenet6.net (USE THE ONE NEAR YOU)

    4- select Connect Using anonymous

    5- in Advanced tab leave it alone. do not change anything

    6- make sure command prompt is closed because if it is open then gogo6 will not connect

    7- press Apply then press Connect in Basic tab

    8- go to Status tab and wait till Tunnel Status shows Connected

    now if you did everything correct after this command:
    ping benderrodriguez-1-pt.tunnel.tserv28.waw1.ipv6.he.net

    you should see ping time. now you can easily active your windows by below commands (remember you should run CMD as Administrator):

    1- slmgr /skms benderrodriguez-1-pt.tunnel.tserv28.waw1.ipv6.he.net

    2- cscript slmgr /ato

    This worked for me, but i had to change cscript slmgr /ato to cscript slmgr.vbs /ato

    ........

    but still nothing. i even tried each server and still it couldnt connect. the log just kept showing errors.

    i have tried cmd prompt in admin rights and followed the steps with slmgr, but i keep getting the same error, KMS server not responding bla bla bla!!!

    Any help from anybody will be sincerely appreciated !!!!!!!

    im sure its probably still online, didnt mean to alarm anyone, but if you re read what i wrote it just not working for me personally, but seems to be working for others.
    i cannot reset the router because i am living in a hostel and its shared net with a LOT of people. any more suggestions?

    edit: have flushed dns, just unable to reset router as i have no access to it.

    Here's something that might work for someone still having problems activating, having only an IPv4 capable network. As before, ensure dns is set to google public dns viz 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4
    Then open network and sharing center, click on change adapter properties, right click on the internet interface you're using and click on properties. Then uncheck (that's right, uncheck Internet Protocol v6!) Close, right click on the adapter, disable and enable again. This will force all traffic through your IPv4 network.

    Maybe again, sorry for my english
    Instructions for those who use the IPv4
    Swing gogo Client (x32 or x64)
    Start the installation with Win XP compatibility
    start a program
    In the box enter the server anon-amsterdam.freenet6.net (IMPORTANT!!)
    And click Connect
