Configuring N600 Belkin Router IPv6 - Media Disconnected

[fredalbob]

So I'm a bit new to the whole networking scene.
I followed the directions, but get this when I type in IPConfig
I'm running off Windows 7
My router is a Belkin N600 Model: F7D8302 V1
I tried googling it and it said something about flashing it?
Help?

What commands did you use to set up the tunnel?  Can your Belkin host the tunnel or are you stuck leaving it on your PC?

Your Belkin has to pass protocol41 to your host...if you can't find a place to specify that, try putting your host in the DMZ

I did put my host in the DMZ, still... The media remains disconnected.

netsh interface teredo set state disabled
netsh interface ipv6 add v6v4tunnel IP6Tunnel 24.56.36.7 72.52.104.74
netsh interface ipv6 add address IP6Tunnel 2001:470:1f04:1c1c::2
netsh interface ipv6 add route ::/0 IP6Tunnel 2001:470:1f04:1c1c::1

You need to substitute your NAT IP address for the 24.56.36.7 address (I assume you're behind a nat because you're using that firewall)  I also assume your IP address is the 24. and not the 72. In either case, substitute your 192.168 address for your public IP address and try again

Alright, I got it now.

But for some reason it still doesn't detect IPv6 as a connection that is currently existing.

FWIW the adapter has to be called IP6Tunnel..don't ask me why, Microsoft says so.

I'd remove both interfaces and re-create
