Hi Michiel (and everyone reading)

Here's some info that I hope will help to assist me in my setup

I'm running a static IP and have established from SixXS a 6in4-static,IPv4
address tunnel type. I did that as I saw in some of their notes on the
website that users with a static IP could choose that option. Hopefully I
chose correctly. SixXS reports the tunnel type is proto41 with a mtu of 1280

The POP assigned to me is their POP in New Zealand - nzwlg01

Other key info from the SixXS website

I am running a Huawei HG659b router and it appears to have some ipv6 options
in it but I am unsure what I should mess with to ensure incoming traffic is
allowed etc.

I also suspect I need to add an AAAA record against my agency.bbs.geek.nz
domain name but am unsure as to the exact ipv6 address I should use.

I have downloaded the aiccu client for windows, created manually a aiccu.conf
file and when running aiccu I can see it has made some changes to the win7
firewall as well as something when I run ipconfig / all I now see


Tunnel adapter sixxs:

   Media State . . . . . . . . . . . : Media disconnected
   Connection-specific DNS Suffix  . :
   Description . . . . . . . . . . . : Microsoft Direct Point-to-point
Adapater
   Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : 00-00-00-00-00-00-00-E0
   DHCP Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : No
   Autoconfiguration Enabled . . . . : Yes

I had run addtap.bat at one stage and that did add a virtual network device
to the win7 box but then I uninstalled it by running deltapall.bat as I was
unusre if I really needed it.

I need to get the tunnel up and running in the next day or so or SixXS will
dock me some virtual credits (some system they run) and I could loose access
to the tunnel (I think)

My logical brain says I need to make sure the router is set correctly first
before worrying too much about the pc sitting within the home LAN.

It seems like I need to (somehow) ensure something at my end of the static IP
responds to a ping using ICMPv6

Not sure where to start first etc. Hope all this info helps.

Best, Paul
