Hello Bj”rn,

On Monday April 21 2014 15:54, you wrote to me:

 BF>    Yes, but are you using your SixXS tunnel?

I am using the SixXs tunnel for binkp IPv6 connections.

 BF>  I seem to recall that you have other tunnels,

Yes, I have a he.net tunnel. It ends in my router.

 BF> do you get the same result there?

That was a bit of a challenge because the SixXs tunnel takes preference. In the past I used to disable the SixXs tunnel for tests, but this time I was unable to shut it down. Then I remember having played with the Windoes task manager to automatically start up Aiccu at system start-up. Apparently you can manually start a second copy of aiccu, but theone running in the background will take preference. Not until I startup up the task manager and shut down the copy of Aiccu that was runing there, did I manage to shut down the SixXs tunnel. This is the result:

  18:01 [6056] creating a poll for 2:203/0@fidonet (`d' flavour)
  18:01 [6056] clientmgr started
+ 18:01 [7556] call to 2:203/0@fidonet
  18:01 [7556] trying felten.yi.org [2001:16d8:ff00:306::2]...
  18:01 [7556] connected
+ 18:01 [7556] outgoing session with 2001:16d8:ff00:306::2
- 18:01 [7556] OPT ENC-DES-CBC CRAM-MD5-6847f4c168d15da16fe761b70f5b1018
+ 18:01 [7556] Remote requests MD mode
- 18:01 [7556] SYS West Swedish Net
- 18:01 [7556] ZYZ Björn Felten

So I get an IPv6 connect via my he.net tunnel. You will see an incoming with a he.net prefix (2001:4770::0)

When I re-enabled the SixXs tunnel, the problem returned.

We can not but conclude that there is a problem with SixXs...

 BF>    Really strange for sure.

Indeed.

Patience, my fiend, patience.....

Cheers, Michiel
