Cannot ping from Dlink 636L

[btarantina]

Hello everybody!

I have AT&T U-Verse and a DLink 636L router. I've placed the DLink into DMZ-plus mode on the U-Verse gateway and it is listed as being wide open. I set up my tunnel config on my dlink and even followed this tutorial: http://srijit.com/how-to-configure-ipv6-connectivity-with-tunnel-broker-service-on-dlink-dir-615-router/

My windows machine is getting an IPv6 address and when I try to ping ipv6.google.com, it finds the address from DNS but cannot ping. I also cannot ping the Google IPv6 DNS from my router directly. When I try to go to test-ipv6.com it only recognizes that I have an IPv4 address.

What am I missing?

U-verse released updated firmwares a year or so ago which wound up breaking 6in4 tunnels.  That said, in theory, they've deployed and enabled 6rd to many of their locations, so you might actually have v6 direct from AT&T available at this time.  Settings / LAN / IPv6 would be the place to check.

I've called UVerse and they confirmed that I have the latest firmware... that said, I don't have v6 on the AT&T gateway. Settings / LAN / IPv6 doesn't exist.

I have a PACE 5031 NV UVerse gateway if that makes a difference.

I followed these steps exactly on my Pace gateway:

and that didn't improve anything.

If I go to a third-party site: 4or6.com both the ping and the traceroute (both UDP and ICMP) show that the client tunnel endpoint (listed on my tunnelbroker specs) is unreachable:

I've tried 6to4 and 6in4 and 6rd... Uverse is blocking all IPv6 outgoing traffic. I'm going to wait a few months for my service contract to expire and then consider switching to a different provider.
