I used to use an IPv6 tunnel broker that worked fine, and even had a great program in C to do all the configuring of my tunnel automatically, but sadly, they are sharing my /48 with like 4 other people making it impossibl= e to log into IRC servers. So somebody on #FreeBSD @ irc.freenode.netreccomended 2 OTHER brokers for me, one was BTexaCT and another was Hurricane Electric (www.tunnelbroker.net , which he advised me to use.) So I got my tunnel approved at both places, bu= t am seriously at a dead end here and it has become very discouraging, to the point where I'm blaming myself because this should be so straight-forward := ( Here are the full tunnel details I was approved for Server IPV4 Address: 64.71.128.83 Server IPV6 Address: 2001:470:1F01:FFFF::DD2/127 Client IPV4 Address: 70.28.MY.IP Client IPV6 Address: 2001:470:1F01:FFFF::DD3/127 in my /etc/rc.conf, I have ipv6_enable=3D"YES" ipv6_gateway_enable=3D"YES" The guide I was following was: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-ipv6.html Okay, so, the steps I follow are.. ifconfig gif0 create ifconfig gif0 tunnel 70.28.MY.IP 64.71.128.83 (my ip then their ipv4 ip) ifconfig gif0 inet6 alias 2001:470:1F01:FFFF::DD3 That goes off without any errors or anything, and then that guide tells me to 'ping6 ff02::1%gif0' and it works perfectly, and I get ping replies, so = I get REALLY excited. Then, the guide tells me to finish by route add -inet6 default -interface gif0 Then, it should be ready according to the manual, but I can only resolve IPV6 addresses, I can't actually communicate with any. ping6 'ing ipv6 addresses resolves to the proper address, but no packets ar= e received irc'ing an ipv6 server just resolves the IPV6 address but doesn't actually get past the CONNECTING stage As I said, I'm getting really discouraged and downright depressed, and I don't know what further action to take to pursue this problem, so hopefully people here can get me up and running.. This really shouldn't be a difficul= t thing to do.. Also, as a side note, I also took the exact same steps with the OTHER broke= r I was approved for (BTexaCT) but its the same thing, I can only resolve IPV= 6 IP's, not communicate with them What should I do!! Thanks in advance, everyone :) -Ryan, a new FBSD user :)
