However, I did want to see if having the eth0 card in the vm be auto configured would make a difference, so I did add tap0 to radvd.conf, and restarted radvd. The vm did get a ipv6 address from radvd, but that still didn't solve the routing problems, which was actually what I expected, but I did hope I might be pleasantly surprised. > > The ip command is the one to use if you need to set up static routes - see the > IPv6 HOWTO. The ipv6 howto doesn't mention an if command anywhere as far as I can tell, it does mention the ip command quite frequently though (smile). > You might also need to enable IPv6 forwarding in your kernel on > the host system. Yes, that's been done, and I forgot to mention it in my initial post. I think I actually figured out a solution though by bridging the eth1 interface for my lan to the vm's tap0 interface on the host. I'll make the config changes tomorrow, and will report back if it works, though I think chances are very high that it's going to. We'll see I guess. - -- web site: http://www.romuald.net.eu.org gpg public key: http://www.romuald.net.eu.org/pubkey.asc skype: gregn1 (authorization required, add me to your contacts list first) - -- Free domains: http://www.eu.org/ or mail dns-manager@EU.org -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkoRBQMACgkQ7s9z/XlyUyAWIACePjjBg9gMZBLCf9Hpw/xTy3jK StQAn3cg2x7A9Qb/fIpJkML2aVZywcRG =RdyV -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
