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.

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?
