> This ticket should be marked as closed or resolved. The cause of this
error message was due to a misconfiguration in the /etc/config/dhcp6c
file. I had the enabled option on the first line set to "0" instead of
"1." Making this change solved my problem. I can't believe I made such a
simple error, but it's easy to miss using the LUCI interface, and
sometimes when editing a text config file, you skip to the parts you care
about without analyzing the default settings.

> A more technical explanation is that because dhcp6c was not enabled,
ipv6 utilities could not make an ipv6 connection. Similarly, ipv6
addresses were not being properly handed out. Now, I run the ping6 and
traceroute6 utilities. Although these utilities timeout when trying to
reach anything outside my network, they work fine internally. So that is
a different issue (probably configuration related).

Isn't whole point of this ticket is that outside IPv6 connections aren't
working? That's clearly in your original ticket description. Internal IPv6
connections have always worked for me- but I cannot ping or connect to
IPv6 addresses.
So I vote to keep this ticket open.
