I have 5 servers on my quaint little network, and my primary

can ping6 all day long across this tunnel, and I can even connect
through this firewall to other sites using the IPv6 addresses.
I've been given 2001:4900:1:0111::/64 for my use. I've
configured /etc/rc.conf on my first two machines with
ipv6_enable="YES" and given them 2001:4980:1:0111::1 and
2001:4980:1:0111::2. Each machine can ping6 itself, but they
cannot ping6 eachother. I know the copper is good, and my ipv6 is
running along side my ipv4 addresses and such. In addition, there
are no firewalls in between.
Is there something I'm missing?
Maybe you used a /128 netmask, or a wrong routing table? Try
sniffing with tcpdump/wireshark to see what is going on.
Also, what the heck is rtadvd_enable="YES" actually doing for me?
I understand it's broadcasting some routing stuff so my other
hosts can auto-configure their IPv6 addresses, but anything else?
There is a section in the handbook about ipv6:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-
ipv6.html
Tilman,
Thanks for the reply. I'm sure I'm using a /64 prefix and I've
already read heavily through the page mentioned above.
Any other ideas?
Eric Crist
