radvd broadcasts wrong router address

[simonszu]

Hi there,

i have a linux box as a homeserver in my network which should act as the tunnel endpoint and as the router advertising daemon stuff. This box is NOT my "default router" which enables the PPPoE connection to my ISP.

I have successfully established a tunnel with the example configuration. I can ping and trace several IPv6 adresses.

Now i would like to broadcast the v6-autoconf-stuff into my network, so my other machines have IPv6 as well. I installed radvd and confed it, but the result is, that my Macbook configures itself as follows:

It has two IPv6 addresses, they are 2001:470:1f1f:1b78:223:6cff:fe84:c6e7 and 2001:470:1f1f:1b78:7dbd:1f01:5cec:4dfb.
The router is fe80::211:24ff:fe74:8f58.

I can't ping or trace from my Macbook to any adress. I think the problem is, that my Macbook gets the wrong router address. fe80... is the loopback address from the ethernet adapter in the debian box.

Could you please help me? I am wondering why my Macbook gets two iPv6-addresses as well...

My network config looks like this:

I have two questions

1) Why isn't your linux box your default router?  As far as your IPv6 network is concerned, your tunnel endpoint is your default router.
2) You're telling RADVD to use 2001:470:1f15:1b78:: /64 but your macbook is showing 2001:470:1f1f:1b78::/64  Is there something else on your network that is handing out addresses?

1) Well, with "default router" i mean the device which enables the PPPoE connection to my ISP. I have a WRT which does this. I just wanted to say that the debian box is "just a pc in the network".

2) No, there is no other service which broadcasts addresses, but this is what happened: Every time i edit a file, debian creates a backup with a trailing ~. And for some reasons, radvd did not read its config from radvd.conf but from radvd.conf~.
I have deleted the ~-file, and now my Macbook has this config:
Two IPs, 2001:470:1f15:1b78:223:32ff:fec1:c0e0 and 2001:470:1f15:1b78:51f8:a88e:e86a:440 and still the router address starting with fe80.

I checked the usual testing sites again, kame.net shows me the dancing turtle now, but sixxs does not show my v6-address.
Since i am able to ping and trace over v6 now, i think my radvd works correctly now.

FWIW your gateway address will be an FE80 address.
