Hi.
I'm having problems with my tunnel. I created it using

Code Select Expand

netsh interface teredo set state disabled
netsh interface ipv6 add v6v4tunnel interface=IP6Tunnel 192.168.1.2 216.66.84.46
netsh interface ipv6 add address interface=IP6Tunnel 2001:470:1f14:1a6e::2
netsh interface ipv6 add route ::/0 interface=IP6Tunnel 2001:470:1f14:1a6e::1and it appears it is up

Thank you in advance.

Tunnel isn't up if you can't ping the ::1 gateway ;)

You have NAT, so I suspect it's a protocol41 issue.  You said you put your host in the DMZ, but this still doesn't work on some routers...what router are you using?

[radualexandrupopescu]

Huawei EchoLife HG520b
DMZ works for opened ports, and I don't see why it would care if ip.proto == 41 and not 6 or 17...

Meanwhile I tried with a FreeBSD virtual pc setup as dmz, with my windows tunnel config... and still nothing.
Also Wireshark shows some packets "289918   273.170729   2001:470:1f14:1a6e::2   2001:470:0:63::2   TCP   12720 > http [SYN] Seq=0 Win=8192 Len=0 MSS=1220 WS=8 SACK_PERM=1" that seem to be exchanged or at least sent.

[cholzhauer]

Keep in mind that protocol != port

I assume that packet is headed out...do you see any packets coming back in?

The way to test this is to put your host in front of your firewall and try the tunnel again.

[radualexandrupopescu]

Sorry I did not mean that port = protocol, I meant that DMZ works as far as ports are concerned.
As for putting the computer in front of the firewall I don't know any other way besides DMZ. And the router is an ADSL modem, so I can't connect the computer directly. :(

Regarding the packet trace, I ran it for 10 mins and I did not notice any incoming packets or replies.
