Hi,

My Current set-up works fantastic. But due to progress I am being forced to change my cable modem to a cable modem / hub combination.

My Current setup is :

Internet -> Cable Modem (public ipv4) > Router (DD-WRT with the IPv6 Tunnel) (192.168.0.x) > Devices.

Router is running DD-WRT and has the following in the startup script.

Code: [Select]

#!/bin/sh
#sleep 30
logger -t www.startup Startup script started.

HE_tunnel () {
#***************************

The Future set-up :

Internet -> Cable Modem/SuperHub (192.168.10.x) > Router (DD-WRT with the IPv6 Tunnel) (192.168.0.x) > Devices.

Currently this does not work. I think it may be down to the Virgin SuperHub blocking protocol 41.

I have read on other forums that Virgin dont block protocol 41...

Any help would be great!

Thanks in advance.

You'll  need to change your public IP address to the private IP address since it looks like your DDWRT router is behind NAT now

[RattyDAVE]

Yes it does that. I thought that too.

Code: [Select]

for DEV in "eth1" "ppp0" "vlan1"; do
WANIP=`ip -4 addr show dev ${DEV} | grep inet | awk '{print $2}' | cut -d/ -f1`
if [ -n "$WANIP" ]; then
logger -st HE_tunnel "External IP ${WANIP} found on device ${DEV}"
break 2
fi
done

So it will have 192.168.10.x address.

Thank you.

[RattyDAVE]

Sorry forgot to mention IPv4 works perfect in both configurations.

[RattyDAVE]

I have done a TCPDUMP and I can confirm that PROTOCOL 41 is not passed via the Superhub.

[cholzhauer]

There's your problem then

[jtcloe]

You're getting a nat'ed IP.  The carrier wouldn't even begin to know to to pass the traffic to.

Remember that SIT tunnels aren't session oriented, so there is nothing for the providers NAT equipment to track back to (unlike a tcp session).

The VirginMedia SuperHub can be set to modem mode!
That means you can use your own router with a public IP without NAT.

I am using the SuperHub in modem mode together with Airport Extreme. It works without any problems together with tunnelbroker.

I would anyway suggest to set the SuperHub to modem mode! The integrated router is not something you would want to use...

Hi. I have just switched over to VirginMedia and now my current script that I had been using on my DD-WRT router no longer works. I am using the superhub in 'modem' mode.

Does anyone have a working script I could use, as I tried the one above this post by RattyDAVE and it still doesn't work.

Thanks.
