 Mv> You could change the tunnel type to AYIYA. That will cost uo 15 ISK, but

Yes the credit thing is somewhat baffling, but reading their explaination of
it I see why they do it.

I have temp disabled the tunnel I have and will likely convert it to AYIYA so
I can get something working. It annoys me I can't seemingly use the router I
have but then again the ISP and really few in my country seem to be doing
anything about ipv6 just yet.

...and I am learning a lot just in making these errors and working out fixes :)

The old primary school motto comes to mind 'Learn by Doing' - always liked
this.

 Mv> If there is no menu in the IPv6 section for selecting and configuring
 Mv> 6in4, 6RD or 6to4, I am afraid there is at least no easy way with this
 Mv> router.

Funny thing in the built in router help it is mentioned and yet I think the
ISP has crippled the router to not offer it.

 Mv> There may be a way via the router's command line interface, if it has
 Mv> one, but one need to find someone who knows the ins and outs of the
 Mv> router in question. You may find how to do it on a forum decicated to
 Mv> your router.

It's locked up tight :( No password and no access..

 Mv> I would not advise that route if this router is you main router and you
 Mv> do not have a spare to fall back on.

I agree. My Family would not be happy..

 Mv> You can use one of the many so called looking glass servers to have your
 Mv> system pinged or tracerouted to from outside. Here is one:

OK thanks Michiel I will take a look at this.

 Mv>  PH> But I'm also aware the machine was likely exposed to every other
 Mv>  PH> possible port query from the WAN side also.
 Mv> 
 Mv> Exacyly, Might as well directly connectit to the internet without the
 Mv> router. Not recommended.

Glad my thinking is on the mark with this.. yep will abandon that notion.

 Mv> Yep, and there the buck stops...

Rerouting buck... please stand by...

Best, Paul
