IPV6 Centos 5 not working

[randall]

Hey Guys I had ipv6 working in the past but I decited to get it working again I can't seem to ping6 or traceroute6 anything.
I am using a Linksys WRT150N v1.1 with Firmware DD-WRT v24-sp1 (07/27/08) std. this is the script I am using for my ipv6 tunnel.

ifconfig sit0 up
ifconfig sit0 inet6 tunnel ::209.51.161.58
ifconfig sit1 up
ifconfig sit1 inet6 add 2001:470:5:4::1/128
route -A inet6 add ::/0 dev sit1

This is what happens when I ping6 ipv6.google.com
[root@cntserver ~]# ping6 ipv6.google.com
PING ipv6.google.com(2001:4860:0:2001::68) 56 data bytes

it just sits there and have to cancel it.

this is what happens when I traceroute6
traceroute6 ipv6.google.com
traceroute to ipv6.google.com (2001:4860:0:2001::68), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets
7  * * *
8  * * *
9  * * *
10  * * *
11  * * *
12  * * *
13  * * *
14  * * *
15  * * *
16  * * *
and it is the same all the way down.

this is what my ifconfig says

any help would be great thank you.

Try:

route -A inet6 add 2000::/3 dev sit1

instead.

[randall]

I used
route -A inet6 add 2000::/3 dev sit1
and I still get the same problem.

Also, try to use /64 as that is the size block being used and not /128.

[randall]

ok this is what my script looks like now

ifconfig sit0 up
ifconfig sit0 inet6 tunnel ::209.51.161.58
ifconfig sit1 up
ifconfig sit1 inet6 add 2001:470:5:4::1/64
route -A inet6 add 2000::/3 dev sit1

still getting the same isssue

Ok fixed it but I don't know why it worked. I switched my ipv4 address to something else in tunnelbroker.net config page then changed it back. now it seems to be working great. thanks for your help.
