Can't get Dual Stack *quite* running

[Nutterpc]

Well I got the issue sorted of my LAN receiving IPV6 Addresses, my WAN connection got its /64 allocation from the ISP

I have the gateway up, but for some strange reason, when I go to http://test-ipv6.com , it still tells me that ipv6 is not enabled

I've created the rules as well to allow ipv6 traffic out, but for some strange reason I cant get it to work

Anyone got any ideas please for what I am missing?

Well, there is a lot of missing info. Like, are you routing from one range to another?
What happens when you trace route to 2001:4860:4860::8888 from the firewall and from a system behind the firewall?

Details on you setup will only help here.

Routing only from the internal /56 the ISP supplied me (2001:44b8:22b:b100)

I've got it successfully showing up as assigning addresses out via DHCP

Here's what happens when I try to tracert the afore mentioned address

Tracing route to google-public-dns-a.google.com [2001:4860:4860::8888]
over a maximum of 30 hops:

1  Destination host unreachable.

Trace complete.

I have the Firewall rules set to allow traffic, LAN auto added them when I did a factory reset

I also added one via WAN to allow, should I set it to allow all ipv6 data from lan?

Let me know what other info you need

EDIT: Attached shows that the necessary ipv6 addresses are there

What is intresting is that fe80 addresses are not internet routable.

from  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Link-local_address :

Link-local addresses for IPv4 are defined in the address block 169.254.0.0/16. In IPv6, they are assigned with the fe80::/64 prefix.

If they are routing that block to you, it is not going to be on that gateway. Perhaps they are expecting you to route on another IP? I would think that the gateway is somehow wrong since any router will not pass a link local address.

Your WAN is assigned an address from dhcp, so you are probably going to have to talk to your ISP. All the ones I have dealt with so far all use static IP and not from a dhcp, so I might be wrong.

Your gateway can be a link local address. There is no harm in specifiying the gateway as a link local or global address since it is the same host.

It makes perfect sense for gateways since these are normally always directly connected.

thanks for the clarification.

Turns out there is a device or two on the network here that wont work with ipv6, so I've had to turn off the ipv6 stuff for now :(

Mainly the FetchTV box and the printer, the moment both IPV4 & IPV6 are being advertised, those 2 devices stop working

All good, without ipv6 running now, the network is running rather nicely

Im rather liking the uptime :D
