      BT's gateways do not respond to ping generally. Set an external monitoring IP like 8.8.8.8.

        Hi All

        Just to say things are looking much better and thankyou for all the advise.

        I managed to change the 'Monitor IP' via 'System / Routing / Gateways' The IPv6 option, I could not find a direct answer for this; Google search, so I assume for now it just the IPv4 I need to focus on. One other aspect, the Graphs that show the traffic are looking a lot better, I can see a bit clearly now what is going through my WAN side compared to LAN side; there is more of a detailed view for the LAN side and more of summary for the WAN if that makes any sense. A sample below what I mean:

        Again thanks for the help.

          @cxcmax You could presume that if IPv4 is running with BT that IPv6 is as well since it is running over a IPv4 relay and then just turn off the "Gateway Monitoring Action" in the BT_WAN_DHCP6 interface.

            The BT link-local IPv6 gateway generally does respond to ping:

            So you may have something misconfigured there.

                Mmm, well spotted. Possibly 'Use IPv4 connectivity as parent interface' is not set and should be.

                    Can or can't see it? It's here in the DHCP6 client config section for the WAN. Here's what I have:

                      I think I am being stupid here, for the life me I can not see this. Should it be easy to locate on the 2100 netgate?

                          I appreciate the help and patience, I will now go and back up the system before I start making an further changes.

                          I made the change via 'Interfaces / WAN (pppoe0), under 'DHCP Client Configuration' section

                            Nice. If you have LAN set to track WAN with a prefix value set you should also now see a valid public /64 applied to it.
