Err, no. IPv4 and IPv6 are systematically the same. You stated in the original post that you have, on the router, as its 'outside' address: 2002:xxyy:xxyy::1 Then, in a subsequent post, you stated that you assigned: 2002:xxyy:xxyy::10 to the client, which I expect is attached to the *inside* interface on the router. Therefore, you would have 2002:xxyy:xxyy::/64 networks on BOTH the inside, and outside interfaces. I think what you need to do is configure a separate global /64 prefix on the INSIDE interface of your router (and the network clients), that is different from the /64 on the outside, as opposed to using link-local addressing. However, I have no idea if this needs to be globally routable or not. As I've said, I know pretty much nothing of 6to4. Some tunnel brokers can provide you with both a global unique address for the 'WAN' side of your router, and then route you a /48 that can be used inside of your network.
