I have a router/server running Mandrake 9.1 and am trying to configure it as
an ipv6 router. I have another mandrake 9.1 machine and a windows XP
machine connected which are both ipb6 enabled. I am using the following to
try and get the ipv6 router running:

# start ipv6
modprobe ipv6

# enable ipv6 forwarding
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/forwarding

#configure tunnel
#!/bin/sh
if ! [ -f /proc/net/if_inet6 ]
then echo "IPv6 is not installed!" 1>&2; exit 1; fi

ifconfig sit0 up \
&& ifconfig sit0 inet6 tunnel ::193.113.58.80 \
&& ifconfig sit1 inet6 add 2001:618:400::c389:7859/128 \
&& route -A inet6 add ::/0 gw fe80::c171:3a50 dev sit1 \
&& route -A inet6 add 2000::/3 gw fe80::c171:3a50 dev sit1 \
&& ifconfig eth0 inet6 add 2001:618:48a::/48 \
&& echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/forwarding \
&& echo 'interface eth0
{
AdvSendAdvert on;
MinRtrAdvInterval 3;
MaxRtrAdvInterval 10;
prefix 2001:618:48a::/48
{
AdvOnLink on;
AdvAutonomous on;
AdvRouterAddr on;
};
};' > /etc/radvd.conf \
&& echo "IPv6 configuration completed" || \
{ echo "IPv6 configuration failed!" 1>&2; exit 1;}

# start router advertisement daemon
/etc/init.d/radvd start

The part for the tunnel was provided by btexact who I have my tunnel with.

I can verify that router advertisements are being sent by running tcpdump
and they are being seen on the other machines (again verified by using
tcpdump).

IPv6 can be used on the router as I can use ping6 or lynx to navigate an
ipv6 website, but this cannot be done on the other machines. When running
ipconfig/ifconfig on the other machines, I only have a link scope address,
but no global address.

I had this working a few months ago, but it isnt working now, I must have
changed something on the router to make it stop. Does anybody know what I
am doing wrong? Here is an "ifconfig -a" from my router.
Thanks
Allan

Try having radvd advertise a /64 instead of the /48. Just a thought.
