Vista+Linksys WRT54G router=no IPv6 tunnel connectivity

[a1pcfixer]

Couple of suggestions...can you ping your router address?

run        netsh interface ipv6 show interface 8" (where 8 in the index number of your interface)

What is the status of"Neighbour Discovery" "NUD" "Router Discovery" ? These "should" be enabled ...

Where/how do I find that???

Look at post #14 from jimb

Did I do this right?.........

At least it says connected.

What does ipconfig /all show?  As long as that static address is still on your NIC, everything "looks" like it should work

Somewhere along all these changes, my browser refreshing of this site went to a crawl.
Testing at.....  http://test-ipv6.com/   ......was also dead slow, and still showed only IPv4 connectivity, nothing for IPv6.

So, thanks to my handy-dandy ERU/NT utility, I've restored my registry back to when basic web browsing worked fast.
That has put me back to where I was before I tried all this IPv6 tunnel settings.

I still think my Linksys WRT54G router & firmware are the biggest bottleneck here.
Until I change that, I'm going to sit back.

A big thank-you to ALL who tried helping, I appreciate it!!!!

[cholzhauer]

One thing to keep in mind when you start messing with your router is that you need to pass protocol 41 to whatever is hosting your tunnel.  I don't know how your Linksys is configured right now, but if you're not letting ICMP and protocol 41 through, it won't work

[a1pcfixer]

My Linksys WRT54G is 'protocol 41' unaware. It only understands TCP & UDP.

Norton Security Suite however does provide support for protocol 41, and I assume Vista/Win7 firewall as well, which might be connected to 'Teredo'.

I just read up on newer cable modems, IPv6 capable , plus routers. My cable modem is rated for DOSCIS 2.0 only. Newer ones are DOSCIS 3.0 & are IPv6 capable. I'll probably need to eventually upgrade to a newer cable modem & router.

I feel the degree of effort to get a IPv6 tunnel working, should have been easier, but maybe it was just my own incompetence. Still, I thank you for your efforts to help me!

[a1pcfixer]

I don't know how your Linksys is configured right now, but if you're not letting ICMP and protocol 41 through, it won't work

My Linksys WRT54G (v.2.0) & it's firmware( v4.71.1, Hyperwrt 2.1b1 + Thibor15c) + my Motorola SB5101 cable modem (DOSCIS 2.0) are 'Protocol 41' unaware.

However, I have gotten an IPv6-in-UDP-IPv4 tunnel fully functional by using the GogoCLIENT Utility. A temporary fix, until I upgrade my router & modem.

a1pcfixer,

I use Road Runner with Brighthouse Networks, with a static IP for my connection 24.227.47.170 connected
to a Linksys WRT54G V2.0 Router firmware version v2.02.7. with a static IP on my PC with XP Pro SP3 of
192.168.1.2. Here is the setup routine I used:

And with this setup my HE Tunnel works fine behind this router, the only change I made on the PC was
in the adapters advanced firewall advanced ICMP settings was to enable every ICMP setting to get things
to work.

Note: I also tried a Linksys WRT54G V8 and that roouter was a no go.
