Not that anyone replied, but I fixed this after hunting around for about the last four days. It was very simple. I needed to specify an inet6 address for the internal interface on the firewall (the prefixlen of /64 is the default), and to run rtadvd rl0 # rtadvd -d rl0 # ifconfig rl0 inet6 3ffe:b80:1d82:2::1 and on the hosts I needed to add "ipv6_enable="YES" to /etc/rc.conf Entering "sysctl -w net.inet6.ip6.accept_rtadv=1" has the same effect, but obviously putting ipv6_enable="YES" into rc.conf keeps it that way by default. I think this could really use being in the handbook. I suppose the right thing for me to do is email the author at the top of the page with an html patch. William. -- W. Palfreman.
