Hello,

I've been trying to get an IPv6 router to work, but I didn't have much luck with it. So I've got a tunnel at Hurricane Electrics, and got it working on the router. But now I want to use IPv6 on my machines behind the router, and I just don't know what I've done wrong.

I've configured radvd, assigned it a prefix from which it can assign IPs. It's on a Slackware 12, and on Slackware 12 client I've installed radvd as well. And as far as I understood Gentoo-wiki guide you install radvd set it up, start it and it should work. But it does not. When trying to ping 6bone.net from the client it says network unreachable, but pinging from the router works.

Anyone know how to properly set this up?

Regards,
Tux

Ok, fixed.
The problem was somewhere in the firewall. And in having forwarding turned on on the client.
But I still need to manually add the clients IP to route on the server. Don't know why.

Which is where I come to another problem.
With OpenVPN. I've configured it so to use tap instead of tun.
So I start the client and it gets a link local addres: fe80::ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff, not exactly this one but something like that. And then radvd assigns it the IP <my prefix>:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff, I manually add the address on the server into route and it works. Lovely...until I don't restart the client side OpenVPN. Then the link local changes and it gets assigned a different address. Anyone know how to fix this so that it would always have the same link local address?
