IPV6 Clients behind router?
Shadow Hawkins on Sunday, 13 February 2011 21:39:25
Hi all,
My tunnel is working great for the past couple of days. With local clients on the linux box.
So today I enabled radvd and ipv6 is now almost out-of-the box used by my client.
I can see traffic gong out the tunnel. Bot nothing comes back.
Did I do something stupid or does only x:y:z::/2 enabled right now
on my x:y:z::/64 enabler tunnel?
regards,
Henk

As per the FAQ, indeed only <tunnel>::1 (the PoP) and <tunnel>::2 (the client) are used, it is a Point-To-Point link after all. If you want to attach hosts in a different subnet you need to request just that, a subnet.

To clarify the first message... (don't send when you're in a hurry)
Traffic from the x:y:z::2 (tunnel)router box is fine while
traffic from the laptop x:y:z::a don't get responses.
With tcpdump I can see ping6 sixxs.net going out on tun0 (x:y:z::/64) tunnel but nothing comes back.
I am probably doing something stupid...

Henk

i'm in the same boat. it's kind of funny my ipv6 server can't serve anything till i get the 5 more credits. I am wondering if the other tunnel brokers make you jump through hoops like this.

Or you could read the FAQ which explains it all and also how to skip over that, like 75% of the people actually do.

hay Jeroen,
could you please point me to the part of the faq the explains this? After your post I have gone and read through most of the faq and am not finding the information I am looking for... on a side note some times I am blind in one eye and can't see out of the other.
I am having a blast learning all about ipv6 but some times the simple things are way over my head.
thanks
rody

See the big green box in the Credits FAQ which is also present on the signup page. It is green and colorful for a reason. There are also three other sections with other options, thus in total half a page with possibilities.

Thanks, I had actually seen that. I had actually thought that there was a private ipv6 address that was usable behind the router or some other trickery to make it work till you could get a subnet, and I am fairly sure there is but my Google foo has failed. At this point I only have a couple of days left so no biggie.

Until you get a subnet you have only one routed address. It's static and you can point a domain to it and run servers if you wish. You just have to do everything from that one address. I've done it. Works fine. You might want to forward some ports to another machine.

BTW until you get a subnet you have no need for radvd.
