      Perhaps, DNS issues?

      The easiest way to test that is with a host lookup. Use the nslookup command in Windows or host command in Linux to find the IP addresses for a host name.

        It seems that I can resolve the hostnames of IPv6 domains, however pinging them fails. If I ping from a LAN side device, it works.

        When I'm updating my Linux servers, I'm getting these errors:

        The only way I've been able to get this to work so far is if I disable IPv6. My other WAN connections through a different ISP don't exhibit these issues.

          Maybe the problem is with your ISP. Do they even provide IPv6? What happens if you connect a computer directly to the modem? Does it get the appropriate addresses? Can you ping from it? You have to do some tests to help determine where the problem is.

            I guess dynamic IPv6 is broken, for me it works only some of the time.

              When I use the ISP supplied ONU modem in router mode, I can access IPv6 resources and online IPv6 tests pass.

                When I use an IPv4 address of the IPv6 site, the tests pass.

                Here are my DNS servers:

                Is this a DNS misconfiguration?

                  That will block IPv6 on your LAN. It has to be in bridge mode.

                      Then why did you say it was in router mode?

                        I was saying that when I had put it in router mode, it worked, but my intention is to have it working in bridge mode and it is currently in bridge mode.

                          @abcdefabcdef were you able to resolve telmex's IPv6 connection in bridge mode?
