Problems with IPv6 Tunnel configuration. (gentoo & aiccu)
Shadow Hawkins on Tuesday, 26 July 2005 23:03:35
I am trying to use my shiny new IPv6 tunnel, but I'm getting a bit lost.
After folowing some howtos, trying things manually (which didn't work out), I decided to give aiccu a try. I'm ending with the same result.
At this point I'm only trying to make my workstation IPv6 compatible. This PC is behind a NAT router which supports IPv6-in-IPv4. In the past few days I did try some other tunnel brokers and they did work. So it is possible.
I'll explain my steps and hopefully, someone knows what's the problem.
The steps I took:
1) emerge aiccu
-- Worked very well
2) Created /etc/aiccu.conf
List of the options in the configuration file:
username ML51-6BONE
password *******
ipv4_interface eth0
ipv6_interface sixxs
verbose true
daemonize true
automatic true
3) /etc/init.d/aiccu start
Looking at syslog, everything went fine, but I still don't have an proper IPv6 tunnel, I cannot ping6 the end of the tunnel.
* Starting aiccu ...

Hoi Matthijs
Have you looked at your iptables configuration?
Please note you need ip6tables to configure it.

Hi Dick,
Thanks for your reply, I had given up hope already.
I wanted to prevent any problems with a firewall (and I don't need them that hard with this NAT setup), so I haven't installed iptables nor did I install ip6tables.
Am I understanding correctly that I require to install ip6tables on my system, to get the IPv6 tunnel functioning?
If so, can you (or other persons who read this) help me with its configuration in this situation?
Thanks in advance,
Matthijs Langenberg
