I am using NAT yes however as I mentioned, this configuration has worked perfectly before for a good 6 months so I know it works OK usually. Unfortunately it's only a consumer ADSL router so I can't run tcpdump on it but I can reach the remote end: 64 bytes from 77.75.104.126: icmp_seq=0 ttl=59 time=20.521 ms The thing is even if the tunnel was down I should still be able to ping and use the IP on the local end of the tunnel. I've tested this on another FreeBSD box and even making up a fake tunnel using the same commands I mentioned in the previous email it works fine and I can ping abc::2 from it. On this box that doesn't work. > There's your problem most likely.

I figured someone would pick up on that! I deprecate the interface so that it chooses another IP that I have on another interface as the IP to source outgoing traffic from. Again, usually this works fine. I have however tested removing that just in case and it made no difference. You can see the second example I made on the original email when I made a fake gif1 interface using 2abc:: root@tao[~]# ifconfig gif0 inet6 2a01:348:6:45c::2 -alias root@tao[~]# ifconfig gif0 inet6 -accept_rtadv root@tao[~]# ifconfig gif0 inet6 2a01:348:6:45c::2 2a01:348:6:45c::1 alias ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCAIFADDR): Invalid argument root@tao[~]# ifconfig gif0 inet6 2a01:348:6:45c::2 2a01:348:6:45c::1 prefixlen 128 root@tao[~]# ping6 2a01:348:6:45c::2 PING6(56=40+8+8 bytes) 2a01:348:6:45c::2 --> 2a01:348:6:45c::2 ^C --- 2a01:348:6:45c::2 ping6 statistics --- 3 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100.0% packet loss root@tao[~]# ifconfig gif0 gif0: flags=8051<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1280 tunnel inet 192.168.1.2 --> 77.75.104.126 inet6 fe80::240:63ff:fee8:793e%gif0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x5 inet6 2a01:348:6:45c::2 --> 2a01:348:6:45c::1 prefixlen 128 nd6 options=1<PERFORMNUD> options=1<ACCEPT_REV_ETHIP_VER> _______________________________________________ freebsd-net@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-net-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
