Is this correct? I don't know much about 6to4. All of my IPv6 is native, but what you are saying appears correct. It is almost like a translation at the router should be happening, but it is not. > However, adding an ipv6 address to the client, in this case > 2002:xxyy:xxyy::10/64 doesn't help and breaks even pinging the router's > external address.

In this case, you are implementing the same IP prefix on both sides of the router, which won't work. Try to ping6 www.freebsd.org from the router itself. If that works, the issue is most certainly the router. If this is the case, hopefully someone with more 6to4 experience can explain why your router is not doing the expected thing. Steve
