Problem with ipv6 routing
 
I have gentoo, and i'm trying to use ipv6 through freenet6. When i run the tspc client with -vvv, it says that it connects properly, however, ping6 will not work. Current routing table:

bash-2.05b# route -A inet6
Kernel IPv6 routing table
Destination Next Hop Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
::1/128 :: U 0 35 0 lo
3ffe:bc0:8000:0:8000:0:46f0:f160/128 :: U 0 0 0 lo
2000::/3 :: U 1 0 0 sit1
fe80::c0a8:2a/128 :: U 0 0 0 lo
fe80::202:2aff:fef1:72fa/128 :: U 0 0 0 lo
fe80::/64 :: U 256 0 0 eth0
fe80::/64 :: U 256 0 0 sit1
ff00::/8 :: U 256 0 0 eth0
ff00::/8 :: U 256 0 0 sit1
::/0 :: U 1 0 0 sit1
::/0 :: UD 256 0 0 eth0
bash-2.05b#

I actually don't know anything about routing, but it seems like the only place left for problems to be. I can ping ::1 just fine, along with all the addresses listed as routing to lo. DNS lookups of ipv6 hosts does work. So, what am I missing?

It seems like the default route is a null route:
::/0 ::

You need to change the default route to the v6 IP of the far end of your tunnel.

By the way, pinging ::1 just means that your v6 stack is enabled. Being able to resolve AAAA records just means your resolver will accept them, but it can make AAAA queries in a v4 datagram, so that doesn't necessarily prove anything.

Well, like I said, i don't know anything about routeing, so how would you do that? Thanks for the info, btw.

I've never seen that, but it looks important enough to warrant it's own thread.

Anyway, can anybody tell me how to change the default route?
