I have an Ubuntu 10.04 LTS box sitting between my cable modem and the rest of my network, with two NICs, serving as a router.  This setup works perfectly with ipv4 with NAT, and I set up the ipv6 tunnel on this router and I can access the ipv6 internet just fine from the ubuntu router, ping6 and traceroute6 to ipv6.google.com works perfectly, as does a wget of ipv6.google.com.  I can also ping6 my desktop computer (also running ubuntu 10.04 LTS) from the router, and ping6 the router from the desktop.  BUT I can't get past the router from the desktop, ping6, traceroute6, and wget all fails to ipv6.google.com, though the DNS lookup is successful.

The default route on the desktop is set as the router, and I'm out of ideas.  If anyone can point me in the right direction please do so, if I need to post any more info, let me know.

I do have sysctl set to forward ipv6 traffic:

Code: [Select]

mopar@mytorrentflux1:~$ cat /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/*/forwarding
1
1
1
1
1
1
1

Thanks.

Did you check your ipv6 firewall?

Next steps would probably be to tell us what ip's you configured, and your routing table.

[moparisthebest]

I've disabled all firewalls, because they can cause problems during setup.  Also radvd is installed and working, with this for a config file:

Code: [Select]

interface eth1 {
  AdvSendAdvert on;
    prefix 2001:470:1f11:88c::/64
    {
    AdvOnLink on;
    AdvAutonomous on;
    AdvRouterAddr on;
    };
  };

Here are some commands on the router:

And, as I said above, ipv4 routing works fine.  And ipv6 works fine from the router, but it doesn't seem to be routing ipv6 traffic.

[patrickdk]

Looks like you misconfigured your ip address on eth1

[moparisthebest]

Looks like you misconfigured your ip address on eth1

How is it supposed to be configured?  The only thing I configured manually was the ipv4 address, 192.168.1.3.  The ipv6 address appeared there after configuring radvd.

[patrickdk]

hmm, I can't believe that radvd would put that in there.

From what I can figure out. your HE tunnel is using 2001:470:1f10:88c::

So you eth1 (looks like it's your local lan port, and eth0 would be your internet port) should be using 2001:470:1f11:88c:: (if this is your HE ROUTED /64)

I would pobably just shove 2001:470:1f10:88c::1 on eth1 myself.

radvd config looks right, it has 2001:470:1f10:88c:: in it.

To fix it, do something like:
ifconfig eth1 del 2001:470:1f10:88c::2/64
ifconfig eth1 add 2001:470:1f11:88c::1/64

[moparisthebest]

I don't see what good changing the IP from ending in 2 to ending in 1 would do, but I did do it as you described with the exact same effect as before, perfect ipv6 connectivity from the router but not from the desktop.

[patrickdk]

no, the change from 1f10 to 1f11 is the important one, not the 2 to 1.

[moparisthebest]

Thanks much!  I was using the tunnel address instead of the routed address.  But it works great now. Thanks again!

3rd quad strikes again.  

[Gapppy]

I think i need some help too
my /etc/network/interfaces HE part

        down    ip -6 route flush dev he-ipv6

From router i can browse on ipv6 enabled pages like  ipv6.google.com

But what is behind router i can not get to this pages.

What ip to set for eth1 to this will work

My radvd.conf

Code: [Select]

interface eth1
{

prefix 2001:470:1f0b:1b01::/64
   {
      AdvRouterAddr on;
      AdvOnLink on;
      AdvAutonomous on;
   };


};


[broquea]

2001:470:1f0b:1b01::1/64 on eth1

also make certain ipv6 packet forwarding is enabled

[snarked]

also make certain ipv6 packet forwarding is enabled

Note that to enable it involves accessing a separate "/proc" file than for IPv4.

[Gapppy]

Thx guys!!

[Gapppy]

Ok one problem solved.
Second problem is  i can not connect to irc via ipv6. If i connect via ipv6 sesion last for 10 minutes then disconect and reconect via ipv4.

Ipv6 pages (ipv6.google.com) work like a charm. Even http://www.whatismyipv6.net/ work

Firewall open

Any suggestion?

ip6tables no rules yet.


Sorry on noob questions but i have no experiance with network related stuff in linux.
