Hi Mike, I am sorry that the people on #ipv6 where not cooperative, i use irc.freenode.net and never had any trouble whatsoever.
I hope the mail from Fredrik Tolf made things more clear in respect to 6to4 addresses. If your provider gave you an /48 block, you can use these address to hand out to your internal hosts. The router to your ipv6 tunnel should have ip6 forwarding enabled. Did you do that? Normaly the router would have a tunnel interface and a ethernet interface. The tunnel interface should have the /128 address and the ethernet should have one of the /48 addresses. (i always use 2001:x:y:1 for the router) Can you provide more info on your home network? ADSL modem with linux firewall and a 192.168.0.x ipv4 network natted behind it? Also most providers will not route any traffic from networks that they did not provide themselves. I hope this all helps, and if you still are brave enough, feel free to join #ipv6 on irc.freenode.net :-) Kind regards, @ >Thanks for responding. >I went to the ipv6 irc channel and got nothing but rudeness!

That's too bad. >I am aware of a full ip address, just figured I would spare you the >full >address since it is not pertenant to the question. I keep reading that with 6to4 addresses, they are supposed to start with 2002: prefixes so that autoconfiguration can take place with the clients. The /48 was given to me by the provider. I am aware of the addresses construction, just can't figure out how to get the clients to connect through the router.
