Generally 'routers' cannot use ipv6 default routes. When they (those wacky kernel people) mean routers, I think they mean a host with more than one interface. You're not the first person to get caught by this, as it says at http://people.debian.org/~csmall/ipv6/setup.html Default routes bounce packets. Having a default route in Linux for IPv6 can often lead to severe hair loss as you tear whatever is remaining out. For reasons best left to the kernel hackers, using default routes just doesn't work right (ok you may be lucky). Use 2000::0/3 instead. Very annoying and it gives very wierd results. - Craig -- Craig Small VK2XLZ GnuPG:1C1B D893 1418 2AF4 45EE 95CB C76C E5AC 12CA DFA5 Eye-Net Consulting http://www.eye-net.com.au/ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> MIEEE <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Debian developer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
