Hello Nathan,

So you have TWO tunnels? One that ends at the BBS machine and one that ends at the machine that runs your web server?

And both these machines have a public IPv4 adres, they connect directly to the Internat, without NAT, I mean?

 NP> he.net has gateways right? or am mistaken?

No, they have tunnels. A tunnel connects two isolated parts of the IPv6 internet through the Iv4 internet. The usual setup is that the one isolated part is your local LAN and the other part is the IPv6 backbone.

He.net allows you to connect your local IPv6 network to their IPv6 backbone via an IPv4 tunnel. That local part of your IPv6 network can consist of one or more machines and routers.

To let it work, one of these devices must function as the tunnel endpoint and must be CONFIGURED for it.

What have you done to configure your bbs machine as the tunnel endpoint.

If you go to the CMD prompt and type "ipconfig", what do you see?


Cheers, Michiel
