I found out this Morning, using my laptop and my 2nd HE Tunnel, turning off router advertisement worked.
Early this evening I will retry my 1st HE Tunnel, with the advertising disabled, didn't work last night but
hopefully iit will today.

In Windows Setting Static IP's is easy with IPV4, hence a GUI, and with IPV6 it is simple to add a static address to an interface.
Though after assigning the static IPV6 address you would assume after renewing the interface the new static address would take
effect, no the address still in use is the XP Router machines randomly assigned address from the /64 prefix.

Short of resetting the router machine, uninstall ipv6 and reboot, the renew the lan machines interface, then restart the router machine
to get the manually assigned address to take precedence is there any work around ?

a1pcfixer,

I use Road Runner with Brighthouse Networks, with a static IP for my connection 24.227.47.170 connected
to a Linksys WRT54G V2.0 Router firmware version v2.02.7. with a static IP on my PC with XP Pro SP3 of
192.168.1.2. Here is the setup routine I used:


netsh interface>ipv6
netsh interface ipv6>add v6v4tunnel IP6Tunnel 192.168.1.96 216.218.224.42
Ok.

netsh interface ipv6>add addr IP6Tunnel 2001:470:1f0e:835::2
Ok.

netsh interface ipv6>show interface

And with this setup my HE Tunnel works fine behind this router, the only change I made on the PC was
in the adapters advanced firewall advanced ICMP settings was to enable every ICMP setting to get things
to work.

Note: I also tried a Linksys WRT54G V8 and that roouter was a no go.
