      i'm afraid your windows is still advertising itself as a router, turn that off, you'll find that if you down the server and reboot the client it will get the correct prefix.

      Another issue is that other kit might have picked up on the prefix. For example, just last week 1 of the 2 linksys wireless jobs, a Linksys E3000 picked up the old prefix and decided to maintain it eventhough it was deprecated.

      Worse, it advertised itself as a gateway and it doesn't even have internet (router with dhcp disabled). Another issue is that the e3000 does not even officially support IPv6, it doesn't have a knob in the gui. So here it is broadcasting itself making my life miserable.

      Luckily, after power cycling both, it went away.

      A traceroute should show you where it goes off to.

          that means your gif tunnel is down.

            I think i found a bug?

            This line:

            php: /interfaces_gif_edit.php: The command '/sbin/ifconfig gif0 inet6 2001:470:X:XXX::2 2001:470:X:XXX::1 prefixlen 64 ' returned exit code '1', the output was 'ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCAIFADDR): Invalid argument'

            If I run this by hand:

            /sbin/ifconfig gif0 inet6 2001:470:X:XXX::2 2001:470:X:XXX::1 prefixlen /64

            It works, and subsequent lines no longer fail. It appears the "/" on the "/64" is missing.

            I contacted, he.net and they tore down my tunnel and rebuilt it and found no fault. I looked at the "interfaces_gif_edit.php" but I don't know php well enough to find what i'm looking for.

              Ok, its that line, running the command by hand the WANv6 changes:

              Before command is run
              WANV6 (opt2)    -> gif0       -> NONE/NONE     2001:470:X:XXX::2/64

              After
              WANV6 (opt2)    -> gif0       -> NONE/NONE     2001:470:X:XXX::2/126

              /sbin/ifconfig gif0 inet6 2001:470:X:XXX::2 2001:470:X:XXX::1 prefixlen /64

              /sbin/route change -inet6 default '2001:470:X:XXX::1'

              change net default: gateway 2001:470:X:XXX::1

              EDIT: Missed redacting an IP.

                      oops, ok i see what I did wrong, the interface scope should only be passed onto link local addresses.

                      Sorry!
