Hi Mike, Did your ipv6 provider gave you a /48 block, or did you just allocate one yourself? The /48 should have more numbers than just 2001::
A complete writedown of a /48 block should look like this: 2001:1234:5678:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000 Or in the short notation: 2001:1234:5678:: It is also needed to start ip6 forwarding on your linux box before you can use it as a router. If you are fammiliar with irc chat, you can join #ipv6 to get some more help if needed. Below is a "graph" of how ipv6 address are subnetted, perhaps this will help. Kind regards, @ xxxx=16 xxxx:xxxx=32 xxxx:xxxx:xxxx=48 xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx=64 xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx=80 xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx=96 xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx=112 xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx=128 2001:1234:5678:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:/48 >Hello. >New to ipv6, have read a lot, still confused... >I run a linux router acting as an ipv6 gateway, which connects to >Hurricane Electric tunnel.

I allocated a /48 block which I have advertising to my interneal lan(via eith1) using radvd. I have configured radvd with the /48 block. Using radvdump, it appears to be advertising ok. My tunnel address is a 2001:/128 and the /48 is a 2001:/48(something). Should the /48 block actually be a 2002: block to be a compatible 6to4 address? If so, why would Hurricane Electric give me a 2001: prefix unstead of a 2002? This is so confusing.
