Tunnel does not work on CentOS

Hi,
i am using my Server with CentOS4 x86_64. I created i ifcfg-tun6to4 in the
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts folder with the following content:
EVICE=tun6to4
ONBOOT=no
BOOTPROTO=none
IPV6INIT=yes
IPV6TUNNELIPV4=212.224.0.188
IPV6TUNNELIPV4LOCAL=85.14.213.255
IPV6ADDR=2001:6f8:900:272::1/64
If i try to start the interface i got no message and there's also no interface
visible in ifconfig... Of course i added the following lines to the
/etc/sysconfig/network file:
NETWORKING_IPV6=yes
IPV6_DEFAULTDEV=tun6to4
The kernel is compiled with IPv6 and also Tunnel Support. What do i wrong?
Thanks!
Regards
Tobias

I hope that first line is a cut&paste typo and that it says "DEVICE=tun6to4"
Check the initscripts-ipv6 documentation which also has some tips for debugging
(although a 'set -x' at the top will help out too I am pretty sure :)
Next to that, read the "Reporting Problems" section, which outlines quite some ways of testing how it can be configured.
Seeing that .255 and:
inetnum: 85.14.213.224 - 85.14.213.255
netname: UNITEDCOLO-TOBIAS-BAUER-NET
How sure are you btw that .255 is not a broadcast address? Unless it is part of a /23 or something of course, which can be possible.

The most important issue here is that you should not use tun6to4 but sit1 as device.
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-<tunnelinterface-name> [tunnelinterface-name=sitX (X > 0)]
Control a dedicated IPv6-in-IPv4 tunnel interface
The quote from the link should be clear enough.
