Howdy, |

Starting a new thread. I got my modem and router all hooked up. |
| 4 |
Networking works except IPv6 isn't quite there yet. I even got my cell |
| 5 |
phone and printer working again, IP network address changed. I'm almost |
| 6 |
certain the modem and my puter has a working IPv6. Going to give some |
| 7 |
info but some numbers may be changed, for obvious reasons since I don't |
| 8 |
want some weirdo tracking me down. Modem first: |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
Internet IPv4 Address 74.999.999.2 |
| 13 |
Internet Gateway IP Address 74.999.999.1 |
| 14 |
Internet IPv6 Prefix 2602:999:defg:9029:: |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Since the modem is basically fully automatic, there isn't much info to |
| 18 |
share here. It shows it has IPv6 addresses tho. Now for the router: |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
IPv6 Status |
| 22 |
WAN |
| 23 |
Connection Type: |
| 24 |

| 25 |
IPv6 Address: |

| 27 |
IPv6 Default Gateway: |

Primary IPv6 DNS: |
| 30 |
:: |
| 31 |
Secondary IPv6 DNS: |
| 32 |
:: |
| 33 |
LAN |
| 34 |
IPv6 Address Assign Type: |
| 35 |
SLAAC |
| 36 |
IPv6 Address: |
| 37 |
2602:999:defg:9029:d66e:eff:fe42:55cf/64 |
| 38 |
Link-local Address: |
| 39 |
fe80::d99e:eff:fe42:55cf/64 |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
Now for the puter from ifconfig: |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
root@fireball / # ifconfig |
| 46 |
eth1: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 |
| 47 |

| 49 |

| 50 |

| 51 |

I've looked at the manual, googled it for some tips to try and tried |
| 55 |
several other things such as rebooting the router, even resetting it and |
| 56 |
starting from scratch. I also updated the firmware, one of the first |
| 57 |
things I did but it wasn't to out of date. It seems the modem is ready |
| 58 |
and that the router should either get the info from the modem or just go |
| 59 |
straight through and get it from my ISP, I'd suspect getting it from the |
| 60 |
modem myself. It seems for some reason, the router is not getting the |
| 61 |
info it needs to make the IPv6 part work. I'm not finding anything |
| 62 |
settings wise that changes this. It seems it should be pretty much |
| 63 |
automatic just like IPv4 does. |
| 64 |
|
| 65 |
I visited a IPv6 test site. It shows IPv6 not working. The modem has a |
| 66 |
test for connections that makes me think it could be the ISP with the |
| 67 |
problem. It tests the ethernet port, DNS, DSL etc but on the IP test, |
| 68 |
it fails and shows this for the details: |
| 69 |
|
| 70 |
|
| 71 |
Continuity check to 6rd BR Fail |
| 72 |
|
| 73 |
|
| 74 |
The other tests passed. Since that is the modem itself, it seems to me |
| 75 |
the failure is upstream, not me this time. But the modem shows it |
| 76 |
received IPv6 info, which is confusing. I googled the 6rd BR thing and |
| 77 |
it even had a nice little picture of how things connect. If I |
| 78 |
understand it correctly, the problem is upstream but I'm not sure. |
| 79 |
|
| 80 |
Does this look like a upstream problem with my ISP or am I missing some |
| 81 |
setting somewhere? If you need additional info, let me know. The |
| 82 |
changes I made in IP numbers should be the same whether it's the modem, |
| 83 |
router or puter. I tried to match them up and only change enough to |
| 84 |
make tracking hard. |
| 85 |
|
| 86 |
Thanks much. |
