Your typical consumer router/firewall. You probably just need to configure it to respond to pings.

Whoops, I was wrong. Posted my reply a bit too fast I guess. Obviously you need to be able to ping your own external IP4 from another connection, not that 66.220 address from HE. I misread the error message you quoted :)

So yeah, as jimb already said: just configure your router to respond to pings.

How do I do this? I have recently been sent a new speedtouch router because the other router I had was giving me severe connection problems at some websites. I'm a bit dubious as to if my ISP will allow me to set up a tunnel.

Thanks for answering

Open a command prompt.

Code Select

telnet *your-internal-router-ip*
user: Administrator
password: blank or whatever you set

service system ifadd name=PING_RESPONDER group=wan
connection unbind application=IP6TO4 port=0
saveall
exit
exit

Deja vu, seen this before on this forum :o

How do I find my internal router IP? or do I just type in your example? Please forgive my ignorance I have never done anything like this before there is so much to learn ??? :o

jimb · January 30, 2011, 05:38:37 PM

Go to any of your internal hosts. The default router will be the IP of your firewall's internal interface.

Thanks! After I bypass the password bit I get this. I've used my windows admin pass and my ISP pass but they don't seem to let me pass this stage. I'll retry them all

From the manual

Code Select


If prompted, enter the User name and Password for your SpeedTouch™
security settings and click OK.

The factory default user is 'Administrator'. Its password is blank,
meaning you do not have to enter anything in the password field. It is
advisable to specify another user name and password to protect your
SpeedTouch™ from security violation during the configuration
procedure (see " Access Control" on page 13), or as described in
"3.4 Basic Security" on page 18.

If it's not blank, the password was set by someone and if you don't know it, you need to reset it to factory defaults

I will try my to obtain the password from my ISP they sent me the router so they should be able to provide me the password. Watch this space. Thanks for all help so far
