Howdy, Starting a new thread. I got my modem and router all hooked up. Networking works except IPv6 isn't quite there yet. I even got my cell phone and printer working again, IP network address changed. I'm almost certain the modem and my puter has a working IPv6. Going to give some info but some numbers may be changed, for obvious reasons since I don't want some weirdo tracking me down. Modem first:
Internet IPv4 Address 74.999.999.2 Internet Gateway IP Address 74.999.999.1 Internet IPv6 Prefix 2602:999:defg:9029:: Since the modem is basically fully automatic, there isn't much info to share here. It shows it has IPv6 addresses tho. Now for the router: IPv6 Status WAN Connection Type: DHCPv6 IPv6 Address: :: IPv6 Default Gateway: :: Primary IPv6 DNS: :: Secondary IPv6 DNS: :: LAN IPv6 Address Assign Type: SLAAC IPv6 Address: 2602:999:defg:9029:d66e:eff:fe42:55cf/64 Link-local Address: fe80::d99e:eff:fe42:55cf/64 Now for the puter from ifconfig: root@fireball / # ifconfig eth1: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet 192.168.0.100 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255 inet6 fe80::9dbe:4ba5:f194:2063 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x20<link> inet6 2602:999:defg:9029:2b86:428b:95ee:ba9d prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x0<global> ether 00:01:53:80:dc:35 txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet) I've looked at the manual, googled it for some tips to try and tried several other things such as rebooting the router, even resetting it and starting from scratch. I also updated the firmware, one of the first things I did but it wasn't to out of date. It seems the modem is ready and that the router should either get the info from the modem or just go straight through and get it from my ISP, I'd suspect getting it from the modem myself. It seems for some reason, the router is not getting the info it needs to make the IPv6 part work. I'm not finding anything settings wise that changes this. It seems it should be pretty much automatic just like IPv4 does. I visited a IPv6 test site. It shows IPv6 not working. The modem has a test for connections that makes me think it could be the ISP with the problem. It tests the ethernet port, DNS, DSL etc but on the IP test, it fails and shows this for the details: Continuity check to 6rd BR Fail The other tests passed. Since that is the modem itself, it seems to me the failure is upstream, not me this time. But the modem shows it received IPv6 info, which is confusing. I googled the 6rd BR thing and it even had a nice little picture of how things connect. If I understand it correctly, the problem is upstream but I'm not sure. Does this look like a upstream problem with my ISP or am I missing some setting somewhere? If you need additional info, let me know. The changes I made in IP numbers should be the same whether it's the modem, router or puter. I tried to match them up and only change enough to make tracking hard. Thanks much. Dale :-) :-)
