IP6 Tunnel Configuration Help

[Yoshi321]

Hi everyone. So after I configured the IP6 Tunnel, I tried to ping the Default Gateway, but received a "general failure" response. Before doing this, I entered in the following commands into the command prompt,

Code Select Expand

netsh interface teredo set state disabled
netsh interface ipv6 add v6v4tunnel IP6Tunnel 192.168.1.2 72.52.104.74
netsh interface ipv6 add address IP6Tunnel 2001:470:1f04:7e1::2
netsh interface ipv6 add route ::/0 IP6Tunnel 2001:470:1f04:7e1::1
I changed the first ip address of the second line which was originally my public ip to my private ip.

Here is my IP Configuration for my Wireless Adapter and IP6 Tunnel:

Here is the error when I ping (the same goes for all other ipv6 addresses):

While I was reading around the forum, I also discovered that protocol 41 must be allowed through the firewall (I use Windows 7 Firewall). I do not know if I configured it correctly, but I set a new inbound rule with Protocol Type IPV6 which automatically changed the protocol number to 41. This rule is set to always allow.

My Netgear Router (model WRN1000v2) is port forwarding port 41, and is checked to "Respond to Ping on Internet Port ." I have no evidence to say this, but I think my router has a compatibility issue.

Something else to know is that I followed instructions from this site: http://www.cellstream.com/intranet/tipsandtricks/250-setting-up-a-6to4-tunnel-in-windows-7.html

Overall, I would like to know what I am doing wrong or if I missed anything. If you need more information please tell me.

Keep in mind that forwarding port 41 on your router isn't doing anything...do you have  a dmz mode?

I have a hunch that seeing dmz mode won't work, but we need to rule it out

Okay, I took out the port forward for port 41, and yes, I do have a dmz mode, but it is unchecked. It only lets me put a 192.168.1.XXX address into it.

You should put the ipv4 address of your tunnel server in the dmz mode

You should put the ipv4 address of your tunnel server in the dmz mode

I did that and this is what I got, "The IP address should be in the same subnet as the LAN IP address."

It looks like we set something wrong somewhere

Nevermind, I was able to get it working. I just had to reset my adapter and run the set up again from the very start. Thanks anyways.
