im trying to request an ipv6 tunnel from the site https://members.sonic.net/connections/ipv6tunnel/#
on the screen @ Your current tunnel endpoint is: im putting in my public ipv4 address.
for Master DNS Server IP : im just putting none as it seems it is not required based on the site https://wiki.sonic.net/wiki/IPv6_Service

now when i hit the button "view/request/change tunnel" nothing happens and it throws me back to the same page without giving an errors etc.any ideas what i might be doing wrong ?

figured out.it is working but the buttons are confusing .once you input "Your current tunnel endpoint is: " with your IPv4 address then you need to click on "view/request/change tunnel" .then it will throw you back to the same page but you need to ensuse that the field "Your current tunnel endpoint is: " is correctly prefilled with your current ipv4 address.
then you need to click on "View example configuration" .
N.B. this is not an example configuration per say it has your actual data .It is just that they are giving examples for various platforms.
Unfortunately the instructions are missing the most commonly used platform , Windows 7 and it took me sometime to realize that there is not file called ipv6 ,which the instruction refers to , in Windows 7 and it is replaced by a utility named netsh.Unfortunately the instructions seem to be significantly different and you have to do a mapping of the parameters from ipv6 to netsh .you can see examples of the mapping from the link http://www.tunnelbroker.net/forums/inde ... =20.0;wap2

Sonic.net tech team you might want to update the example configuration for Windows 7 from http://www.tunnelbroker.net/forums/inde ... =20.0;wap2 , will save a lot of people some time.

I've updated the example configs to include Windows 7 and later systems.
