I setup my IPv6 tunnel a couple of weeks ago and it has been working well since.

Thanks!

In case you haven't seen it, I updated the wiki with instructions on getting IPv6 reverse dns records setup.

This is cool. I have all Macs at my house and I know they would all love being on IPv6. I'm going to look into this.

Once I got my router configured properly and the tunnel correctly setup, the Macs just worked over IPv6 without any additional configuration. My Ubuntu VM under VirtualBox cannot talk IPv6 yet, because of a bug in VirtualBox. The rest of my network is now running IPv6 and IPv4 flawlessly.

Is that all versions of virtual box or just ones running on Ubuntu?

Cool, that was my impression, especially since it already seems like they are using IPv6 within the internal network using the Time Capsule (Airport) router.

I don't suppose anyone here has set up the IPv6 tunnel on a router running DD-WRT? I tried to but ran into problems and then was too lazy to set it up on my gentoo machine :p

I think it is all version of VirtualBox. I just upgraded to VirtualBox 4.0.8 and doesn't not seem to be fixed yet.

I haven't used DD-WRT. But the primary problem that I had setting up my tunnel is that the tunnel used IPv4 protocol 41 to transfer packets. My router was blocking protocol 41, no tunnel packet would make it in or out. Once a hole was punched into the firewall the tunnel started working.

I seem to be missing something. How do you translate the tunnel instructions to the 4 fields that the time capsule provides. I can't work out which of the 2 possible ipv4 addresses to put into the 'Remote ipv4 address' field.

Also Sonic only gives 2 ipv6 address when apparently 3 are needed the 'WAN ipv6 Address', 'ipv6 default route' & 'LAN ipv6 Address". All I have is Transport:: 2001:<manyhexdigits>/127 & Network:: 2001:<manyhexdigits/60.

Does anybody have a guess how to translated these into the 4 time capsule fields?
