Looking for a little guidance on IPv6
Hello,
Let me start off with, I'm not sure if this is the right mailing
list to send this too, but it seemed the most on-topic. I considered
sending this to debian-users, but I wasn't sure if that would be
productive. I can repost to another list if you think another one is better.
Ok, I've been reading through the LDP Linux+IPv6 Howto, and so far,
here's what I've got. I've got my machine running the linux-2.6.8-1-386
kernel image that is part of Debian/testing. I got 6to4 successfully
working on the public ethernet interface. I can ping6 to various ipv6
hosts. So far, so good. I even got RADVD running.
Here's my main question: Is there any way to get my local 6to4
address, default route, etc, updated automatically by pump when my IPv4
dynamic address changes? That is, currently to get the 6to4 tunnel
configured, I am manually setting the local address based upon what my
IPv4 address is. Is there some script or something I can setup to be run
automatically by pump to update the 6to4, and the default route for IP6
traffic?
Next, client autoconfig with RADVD. Ok, it appears that my
WindowsXP desktop is getting Router Advertisements from my Linux router,
but it doesn't appear to be setting the default route correctly based on
that info. I know, this is a windows questions more than a Linux
question, but I'm wondering if any of you have experience with this? To
give a better idea what I mean: if I try to ping6 the Link Address on
the Linux router interface that is connected to my LAN (I *think* I
should be able to ping a link address from another host on the same LAN,
no?):

Any suggestions about what is wrong?
