Title: Can't access ipv6 internet on client
Post by: cssdesign on May 13, 2013, 02:15:21 PM
I installed the tunnel on the server. From there i can visit IPv6 only sites.
Then i went ahead to enable forwarding in sysctl, and setup radvd.
I've did the same steps previously and all was good, but for some reason i had to take down the tunnel and start again.
But now, i can't access IPv6 only sites at the tunnel side.
I can ping the static address i assigned for the server side, but that's about it.

Can anyone please tell me what i am doing wrong?

Did you use the ROUTED prefix for the LAN client machines? Paste some configs.

my radvd configuration is like this


interface eth0 {
   IgnoreIfMissing on;
   AdvSendAdvert on;
   MinRtrAdvInterval 30;
   MaxRtrAdvInterval 60;
   prefix 2001:470:7c:12e::/64 {
       AdvOnLink on;
       AdvAutonomous on;
       AdvRouterAddr on;
   };
};

Ok based on testing 2001:470:7b:12e::1, I see that what you are using is indeed your ROUTED prefix. Make certain you've configured an address out of the /64 on eth0, like 2001:470:7c:12e::1/64

i have this line there:

iface eth0 inet6 static
   address 2001:470:7c:12e::1
   netmask 64

That solve the issue for your clients sitting on the LAN?

Thanks a lot.I figured i had to delete the inet6 address in the eth0 and restart the network and it kinda solved the problem.
