Hello Joe,

On Monday May 16 2011 14:59, you wrote to me:

That one is mentioned in the Sixxs wiki: http://www.sixxs.net/wiki/Routers

If your ISP had it, you would not need a tunnel, you would have native IPv6. The whole idea of tunneling is to provide IPv6 when the ISP has no support for it. few ISP's provide native IPv6 yet and even less deliver to consumer premises. There is on;y one in Canada.

Some routers automatically set up a 6to4 tunnel when no other means of IPv6 connectivity is available. Apparently your's does not. Perhaps ypu can enable it, but a better solution would be to get a 6in4 tunnel from a tunnel broker such as SixXs or Hurricane Electric.

Then you'd best leave it alone and let it run in bridge mode...


Cheers, Michiel
