Make a box on my subnet my ipv6 router

Hello,
I'm new here, so please bear with me. :-)
I have a problem setting up ipv6 connectivity for my home subnet. I have a local home server, which serves me as backup and bittorrent server (but not as a router, the router is an embedded dlink little thingie), and on which I set up perfectly working tunnel to SixXS, through aiccu.
I would like to use it as IPv6 router to enable all my subnet to IPv6.
For my understanding, once I had a tunnel and a subnet allocated from SixXS, i just had to install and configure radvd on my server, and everything had to be working.
This is my radvd.conf (on my server, archlinux box)
interface eth0
{
AdvSendAdvert on;
MinRtrAdvInterval 3;
MaxRtrAdvInterval 10;
prefix 2001:1418:14f:***::/64
{
AdvRouterAddr on;
};
};
Other machines on my subnet seem to correcly pick the IPv6 address given by the server, but whenever i try to ping an IPv6 address, I get a 100% packet loss.
What am I doing wrong?
Make a box on my subnet my ipv6 router
* You need to enable forwarding on the interface that need to do so (eth0 + tunnel)
* Verify your firewall rules if any (for testing disable it temporarily)
* In some cases you'll have to configure an address out of the /64 you are announcing on the interface itself before radvd will be properly announcing it (generally one picks 2001:db8:1234:5678::1/64 (aka <prefix>::1) for that.
* verify that radvd runs
* check your routing tables
If it still does not work then get tcpdump ready and see what it is doing.
For other things also check the FAQ which contains some hints.

Thanks a lot!
Seems like the problem was either the firewall and/or the address that had to be set on the interface. =)
Taking a look at the firewall configuration and adding an ip command in the startup scripts did the trick.
Now my home and my family is IPv6 enabled! At last! =)
