ipv6 tunnel working, but not able to route other clients

[sPENKMAN]

I successfully set up a point-to-point tunnel and I am trying to include my workstation in the ipv6 subnet so I can reach ipv6 services from it as well. Pinging to external addresses works from my server but not from my workstation although I have enabled forwarding for proto 41 trough iptables.

On my ipv6 enabled workstation (Windows XP Pro SP3) I do get an ipv6 address (2001:470:1f15:577:2400:a7f1:eaa0:1ed & 2001:470:1f15:577:219:dbff:fe4d:e640) where the second address is based on my mac address. When I try to ping these addresses from my server the dest. cannot be reached.

Probably I am overlooking something quite simplistic however I don't fully grasp the understanding behind routing network traffic since I always worked with NAT.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

If any more information is needed just let me know and I'll send it as soon as possible.

With kind regards,

eth1 on your server has been configured for your routed /48, but your workstation has an address from your routed /64 (which is weird, because it can't have gotten that from radvd)

In a previous configuration I did had configured my /64 in radvd, so I guess my WS got it from then. But I would expect that my WS would pick up the radvd change after a reboot or something?
