hi i'm trying to learn this ipv6 thing. i have configured the computer using windows vista according to the instructions and i keep getting "not passed" on the explorer test ipv6 connectivity. I created a tunnel and still nothing. I need someone with more expertise on this to lend a hand
many thanks

Your tunnel must not be up

Are you behind nat?  If so, did you later the commands you used to reflect the correct ip address?

johnceg

i am using an AT&T modem that i think uses NAT. I have tried ' ping ipv6.he.net' from the command line and get back "could not find host ping"

cholzhauer

Please post the output of ipconfig and the commands you used to create the tunnel

johnceg

ipconfig
ethernet adapter local area connection
connection-specific DNS suffix.....:gateway.2wire.net
Link-local IPv6 address...............:fe80::c4e6:8b9c:b916:4c21%10

Please post the commands you used to create the tunnel

johnceg

yes sir im trying to locate the advanced page which had them

johnceg

does the advanced page with the commands "go away" once you execute the commands?

cholzhauer

Shouldn't. Check under tunnel details

johnceg

ah.. ok many thanks.. i feel like an idiot

tunnel[1-5]                                                   routed/64                        /48

cholzhauer

Not that

Click on your tunnel name, then click on example configurations.

Is that what you used to create your tunnel?

johnceg

here we go :
netsh interface teredo set state disabled
netsh interface ipv6 add v6v4tunnel interface=IP6Tunnel 99.108.19.241 184.105.253.14
netsh interface ipv6 add address IP6Tunnel 2001:470:1f10:1168::2
netsh interface ipv6 add route ::/0 IP6Tunnel 2001:470:1f10:1168::1

cholzhauer

As I figured

Go back to the page where you got those commands and look below where it says "note"

johnceg

it stated that if i was behind a firewall i need to locate my ip4 address from my DHCP service,
so when i used the ipconfig it showed my ip4 address as
192.168.1.66
rather then what is listed
99.108.19.241
is that assumption correct?
and that is what i need ot change?
