I reported this to he.net on 9 May 2013.  Support tried to be helpful, but basically I was told that "sh*t happens".

I also contacted google support, and they admitted they could not help.  I filed a form with them wherein it was explained that it could take a month for them to get to such cases, if they could be fixed.

However, I tried using Iexplorer, Firefox, and Chrome, to several sites, not just google, and using google dns as well as opendns, on two independent PCs behind my router that is registering this tunnel.  The real problem is that the tunnel broker IPv6 address is just not being registered worldwide properly.

I still have this annoying problem as of today.

I think everyone posting here should file a ticket with he.net support.  They are the best hope for correcting their own IP addresses.

This is very useful. Thanks.

It would be even more useful if you could create phony addresses to replace those you have blanked out in both the HE page and the dir-825 page?

P.S.

I have written a scheduled script that polls http://myip.dnsomatic.com/ and only then uses `elinks -dump "https://ipv4.tunnelbroker.net/ipv4_end.php?ip=AUTO&...` if the ISPs IPv4 address changes.  It would be nice if this could be set with the OpenDNS client, but that is not available at this time.

I guess the ipv6 connection can be slow and not available quickly at times; there was a Linode post on some cases.  Right now, http://test-ipv6.com and http://testipv6.com both report 10/10 for both ipv4 and ipv6 stability.

I cannot the md5sum form of the https ISP ipv4 address to work,
https://ipv4.tunnelbroker.net/ipv4_end.php?ip=AUTO&pass=MD5PASS&apikey=USERID&tid=TUNNELID
but the second form works OK
https://USERNAME:PASSWORD@ipv4.tunnelbroker.net/ipv4_end.php?tid=TUNNELID&ip=AUTO

Yes, this seems to work.  That is, from two PCs behind the router I now can reach http://ipv6.google.com .  I didn't understand why there would be a 5th netsh command; apparently there is not, as the command you cited,
netsh interface ipv6 add address IP6Tunnel 2001:470:1f08:181a::2
was already included in fcpk's first post.

I notice that http://test-ipv6.com gives me the same report as before I had this tunnel:
10/10   for your IPv4 stability and readiness, when publishers offer both IPv4 and IPv6
0/10   for your IPv6 stability and readiness, when publishers are forced to go IPv6 only
I guess that is expected since I am using a tunnel?  I am using OpenDNS ipv6 name servers
2620:0:ccc::2
2620:0:ccd::2
Are these OK, or should I use (only) the one provided by tunnelbroker
2001:470:20::2

I have a query on the addresses assigned to me by tunnelbroker.   The address I used in my netsh commands, which seem to work, is under the section IPv6 Tunnel Endpoints.  There is another (assign /48) address under the section Routed IPv6 Prefixes, which I assume is just for my information, not used in any of my settings?

My Client IPv4 Address is assigned DHCP by my ISP.  (I understand that the instructions that work require my local private IPv4 address in the 2nd netsh command.)  That usually stays for quite a awhile, but when that changes, I assume my tunnelbroker setting must also be changed.  There is a page pointed to by a popup,
https://ipv4.tunnelbroker.net/ipv4_end.php
that has the info
Usage: https://ipv4.tunnelbroker.net/ipv4_end.php?ip=IPV4ADDR&pass=MD5PASS&apikey=USERID&tid=TUNNELID
 -or-: https://USERNAME:PASSWORD@ipv4.tunnelbroker.net/ipv4_end.php?tid=TUNNELID (auto-detect IP)
       https://USERNAME:PASSWORD@ipv4.tunnelbroker.net/ipv4_end.php?tid=TUNNELID&ip=IPV4ADDR
Is this the method I would use to change the IPS IPv4 address when they change it?

Is there any other service that can do this automatically?  For example, I use OpenDNS's client software that automatically updates my ISP IPv4 address.  Or, do you suggest some other command line to run the above https address/command on some schedule?

Thanks.

Hi.  Could you give the specific netsh command you used to
"and then assigned 2001:470:1f08:181a::32001:470:1f08:181a::3 to the 192.168.1.101 interface;)" ?
Do you mean that you essentially set 2001:470:1f08:181a::3 as a gateway in the 192.168.1.101 network adapter under the Advanced tab?

I assume then, starting just after the tunnelbroker tunnel is created to your router, you would issue?:
netsh interface teredo set state disabled
netsh interface ipv6 add v6v4tunnel IP6Tunnel 192.168.1.101 216.66.80.26
netsh interface ipv6 add address IP6Tunnel 2001:470:1f08:181a::2
netsh interface ipv6 add route ::/0 IP6Tunnel 2001:470:1f08:181a::1
netsh interface ... (the above command)

I too have a set of netsh commands given after my tunnel was created, on my Win7 Ultimate x64 PC, which I have not yet issued as I'm concerned about how to reset this if I wanted to later.

I assume that, with more than 1 PC on the router, the local address (I have static private ipv4 addresses for all PC's)
the 2 netsh commands with 192.168.1.101 would be run with these different private addresses?  I.e., there should be no problem with multiple PCs using the same tunnel?

Right now, on my D-Link DIR-825 router, I can ping ipv6.google.com just fine, but cannot access that site from my WIn7 (chrome) browser.   (On a remote Linode VPS, which has true ipv6 running, I can access that site just fine.)

Thanks.

I set up a tunnel with tunnelbroker and got my D-Link DIR-825  router to ping and ping6 just fine.  However, my Win7 PC cannot use ipv6 yet.

I can ping ipv6 sites from the router, but not from Windows which looks like it is using Win7 Teredo.

I suspect that I have to run something like
netsh interface teredo set state disabled
netsh interface ipv6 add v6v4tunnel IP6Tunnel ipv4-1 ipv4-2
netsh interface ipv6 add address IP6Tunnel ipv6::2
netsh interface ipv6 add route ::/0 IP6Tunnel ipv6::1
where the ip addresses were given by tunnelbroker when I set up my tunnel.

Note:  Under my Win7 Ultimate, Teredo was set up by default, but this still is not a true ipv6 connection.  For example, I could not get to http://ipv6.google.com, and now I still can't get there.   Under my Linode VPS, which has a true ipv6 connection, I can get to that site just fine.

I have already set OpenDNS ipv6 DNS
2620:0:ccc::2
2620:0:ccd::2
on all ipv6 Win7 PCs and router, and so shouldn't the tunnel through the router be all that is necessary?

I'm not sure what else running netsh might do, so I am waiting to get more info from someone more knowledgeable.

I have some reasons for not simply playing with netsh:

I assume that, with more than 1 PC on the router, the local address (I have static private ipv4 addresses for all PC's) there should be no problem with multiple PCs using the same tunnel?
