Hi all,
Wondering if someone who has gotten a native IPv6 connection to work on this router could help me out. My ISP has assigned me a /56 and a /64, which I've assigned in Setup -> IPv6.
From the router, I can ping IPv6 addresses, and the router assigns IPs to devices on my network, but it seems they can't communicate with the outside work. Almost like a routing issue.
Here is Status -> IPv6:

What ISP Service do you have? Cable or DSL?
What ISP Modem do you have? Stand Alone or built in router? By the looks of it, your using the PPPoE on the router, thats good. Does an IPv6 connection work if you by pass the 655?
What ISP Modem make and model do you have?

Hey FurryNutz,
Thanks for the response!
Since posting, I've made a bit of progress. Basically, the IPv6 connection is up and it useable, but the router is not pushing itself as the gateway. It assigns IPs to the computers, but unless I manually add the gateway address, it's a no go. Not sure what I'm missing now.
To answer your questions, my provider is Teksavvy DSL (Canada). The modem is the one I'm forced to pay rent on which is the CellPipe 7130 (I believe it's an Alcatel Lucent).
I did try bypassing the 655, but I'm not familiar enough with IPv6 to get my laptop working on its own. OS X seems to be a little bit picky in that way.
On a side note, the router is not advertising the gateway on OS X, Linux, or Windows 7 machines on my network. Previously I had been using TunnelBroker's 6in4 on a 615 and that was able to push the gateway just fine.
-
What FW version is currently loaded on the 655?
-
Should have mentioned.. It's running 2.07NA
This is a Rev B1 router as well (just purchased today!)
-
Ok, I was going to ask as there was a update in FW v2.01 with an entry of IPv6 Spec 1.12R that v2.00 didn't have I guess. Since then there was a couple more additions with IPv6 since then so the router should be fully supporting the IPv6 platform.
I'm wondering if you set the 655 up with tunneling just to test to see if that works like you had on the 615.
I presume the ISP modem is supporting IPv6, it would be good to see if thats working with out the router to be sure. If it works with the modem then it's just a case to make sure the 655 is configured correctly.
Also get a hold of Patrick533 on here and see if he can recommend anything to help out. Also might call DLink support and check to see if there is any recommendations from them as well. Level 2 support would be good.
I have limited experience since my ISP isn't supporting IPv6, yet. Im still waiting. ::)
-
Thanks Furry!
Your suggestion on configuring the 6in4 tunnel on the 655 and see if it pushes the gateway is a good test. At least I can try and rule out if it's a problem with my ISP. I want to say it's not, simply because no one else is complaining about this problem, and I've had them configure 3 separate logins for my testing purposes (don't ask :P), so the chances of them screwing them all up seems unlikely.
I'll try giving support a call tomorrow too.
Hopefully you can get some IPv6 action from your ISP soon. I don't know if you're in the US or not, but it's nice to see Comcast rolling out support for it. Will be nice to use my family's Comcast connection to connect back to my own stuff next time I'm visiting :P

Is the IPV6 Firewall turned on?
I am using IPV6 on a similar product, if the firewall is on, turn it off for now.
Under ADDRESS AUTOCONFIGURATION SETTINGS, how do you have this set?
Is the DNS server fields for IPV6 populating?
Any of these could stop you in your tracks.
Sorry, Furry asked to come over and lend a hand last night but I was already in bed. I have a DIR-827 I am using that is basically the same setup, except I have dual bands for WiFi. Also I am using 6RD instead of native, but after the 6RD settings the rest of the setup is the same. I will check back after I feed my animals and a couple of more times after that if you have not replied yet. There is another gentleman that has more IPV6 experience then me and is way better than I, but he is in Germany and did not reply to a personal E-mail I sent yesterday, so he is probably enjoying his weekend.
I had to do choirs and an oil change on my truck yesterday, so I was just beat last night, sorry for the delay.

Good morning Patrick :)
Thank you for taking the time to help out. No need to apologize, you don't owe me anything, though I do appreciate it!
The firewall is off and I haven't bothered to turn it on at all.
Under address autoconfiguration, I currently have 'Enable automatic IPv6 address assignment' checked off, and 'Autoconfiguration Type' set to SLAAC + Stateless DHCPv6. 'Router Advertisement Lifetime' is 1440.
I tried doing the test last night of re-configuring it with the 6in4 tunnel, but for what ever reason it wouldn't assign any IPv6 addresses to my laptop. It was about 2am though so maybe I was just too exhausted and overlooked something simple.
Thanks again :)
-
What OS is your laptop?
Does it have IPV6 enabled?
I am using a house full of IPV6 gear and I get addresses for everything, even through a IPV4 only access point.
Why did you set "Enable automatic IPv6 address assignment' checked off" That should be turned on unless you have another DHCP server on the network. I have never set up a native box, but I believe that this needs to be enabled, it is on mine.
If I understand correctly, you have native IPV6 so you would not need a tunnel, the router should serve up addresses like mine does on 6RD.
-
Your captures just showed up after I unblocked the sharing service. My kids have a nanny filter, let me look over the settings real quick.
-
Have you tried turning on DHCP-PD? From everything I see, as long as the computer is setup correctly, you should be fine.
Being you have used your computers with a DIR-615, everything else should be fine too.
You should not have to assign a gateway, one is clearly listed on your router and it should feed it to the PC, just like the Dir-615 used to. The stateless DHCPV6 should do all the work.
Maybe tier 2 tech support could think of something I am not, this equipment is pretty much plug and play!
Here is a shot of my ACTIVE firewall:

Hey again Patrick,
Sorry, when I said checked off I meant it was enabled. The pictures should clear up any confusion :)
The computers are receiving IPv6 addresses, but the gateway/router address is not being pushed to the computers.
I have tested this with CentOS (both 5 and 6), OS X, and Windows 7.
Under Windows 7 for example, get this:
IPv6 Address: My IPv6 address
Temporary IPv6 Address: Another IPv6 address
IPv6 Default Gateway: BLANK
I'm at a loss!
-
Hmmm besides the firewall, your config looks just like mine.
And just as a better example, this is from my laptop if I do automatic IPv6.. You can see the router is handing it two IPv6 addresses, but no router. I think a call to D-Link might be in order!

Thanks again for your time!

What happens if you manually configure OSX? Can you input the routers IPv6 address?
-
Just verified that my DIR-857 is doing the same thing on OSX 10.7 on my MAC Book Pro. Router is not being filled in ???
I just turned on IPv6 and selected Automatic and DHCP6, and turned OFF IPv6 firewall to test. I can't go any farther then that right now.
-
So clearly either the firmware on both our routers is wonky, or we're missing something (unlikely, I think!).
I'll let you know what D-Link suggests when I call.
How were you able to test it Furry? Did you use one of the tunnel services?
-
I just enabled the IPv6 function on the router so that IPv6 services would be broadcast on the LAN is all, I don't have any tunneling set up as of yet for WAN access with IPv6. I need to get that set up. Maybe one of you can help me with that sometime. ::)
-
Always willing to help out if you need it, Furry :)
Just an update.. So I phoned D-Link and got as far as level 2 support, but he seems to think it could be my modem. I'm going to try and find out from some other Teksavvy users with the same modem if they're able to get it to work. I want to say they're just trying to shift blame.
I may take my router to work and hook it up on a basic ADSL modem to rule that out. Does anyone have any experience with what they do when they find out their product is genuinely defective? And by product I mean the entire firmware, not my specific device. Is it likely they might roll out a new firmware, or will I probably be screwed in to buying Rev C3 at a later date, lol.
-
Let us know how the router works at work for you, thats a good test to see if the problem follows.
I would make sure that the ISP modem fully supports IPv6.
I'll send you a PM and maybe this week, you can walk me thru IPv6 tunneling under IPv4. ::)
-
It just works with Windoz, no problems! IPV6 also works on my Android without a hitch with my DIR-827. I keep looking at refurbed Macs, I just don't have enough people to support with Macs. My doctor just switched to a PC, she is totally lost.
Furry, if you need help with a tunnel, put me on the list. Not much diff between 6RD and a tunnel except you use your providers IP addresses. If you use your Amplifi series you will have the best firewall available. ;D
Sorry my response time is so slow, daughters ex is being a troll and requires my involvement(he just lives 2 blocks away). But she is home safe now, that is all that matters.
Packettracer is a whiz at this too, way more experience then me!
-
Macs are great, easy to use.
Wonder why your doctor went with Windoz. ???
Thanks, I might ask for help this week. Want to see how it works for tunneling since my ISP doesnt' have IPv6 implemented as of yet.

Some new patient software they switched to in house. No paper. It is giving her fits! The patient needs to sign in using it too with a tablet. I was in for my physical and filling out all the information she already has on paper(and has had for 20 years), into the stupid patient tablet, while answering questions about my health it starts playing an Asthma medicine commercial, stopping me dead in my tracks from finishing the questioner. Over 50% of the people that live in LA have breathing problems, so when I drive into LA further, I too have problems breathing, so I checked the box for Asthma. Seems like a major HIPAA violation, playing commercials out loud as patients check the boxes. Good thing I did not check something embarrassing/personal like diapers or something.........
She literally had to put my Physical off because her computer would not cooperate, now thinking about it, I am going to do a little WiFi snooping when I go back, there was nothing on 5Ghz, but 2.4 was overloaded. Not sure I like my patient info being beamed out over the air waves on WiFi, maybe they use RADIUS.
She said it is $7K per user. That is a lot of paper!
She still uses a Mac at home and I know she has a PDR on her Iphone, I am not sure why they would not make a Mac version of the patient software. If I had a Mac I would be using it for the clearly better Digital Darkroom capabilities. Mac's have always been better then PC's at that type of thing! Amiga's were good back in the day also.(Digital Toaster)

So were TRS-80s and the PET computer. ;D

I miss my COCO with the acoustic 300 baud modem and 32 whooping K of memory! My first BBS surfer!

Just FYI, I hook up the good old 825 last night and set up the IPv6 options as I did on the 857. OSX 10.6.8 was not getting any addressing. It was late so I couldn't check 10.7.4. FW v2.07 is loaded. ??? I'll check it out again tonight.
-
Hey again guys :)
Ahh I can't believe she switched to Windows. Don't get my wrong, Windows XP and 7 are alright. They have their pros. I use it at work all the time only because my company is too cheap to buy Macs. They're using Foxpro for all of our in-house software, which is crap IMO. I'd much rather have the office switch to OS X and have the developers use Objective-C. Then maybe we could pump out some iPhone/iPad apps for the staff to use :P
In any case, I didn't end up taking the router to work. Sunday night I ended up flashing OpenWRT Backfire on to my old Linksys router, and managed to get IPv6 configured on it, and BOOM, it worked. Phoned D-Link back today, explained that I got it working on another router, thereby taking the blame away from my modem, and they basically told me my product was defective. I think the entire 655 series is flawed. Not sure how it got its IPv6 certification, lol.
I took it back, spent more money and got an 825, and 5 minutes after I got it home, IPv6 is cooking exactly like it should! All is well in the world :D
Furry, I believe 10.6.8 should support IPv6. What were you settings on the 857? Take some screen shots if you can!
-
Well on my 825 i'm using
Auto Detect for IPv6 CONNECTION TYPE
LAN IPv6 ADDRESS SETTINGS:
Enable DHCP-PD : Checked
LAN IPv6 Address : BLANK /64
LAN IPv6 Link-Local Address :FE80::226:5AFF:FEC7:4276/64
For other:
Enable automatic IPv6 address assignment : Checked
Enable Automatic DHCP-PD in LAN : Checked
Autoconfiguration Type : SLAAC+Stateless DHCPv6
Resulting on 10.6.8 and 10.7.4 that no IPv6 address information is being filled in under Networking. I had been getting IPv6 addressing with the 857 accept for the IPv6 Router address.
-
Wow, that is weird, I was using my 825 with Vista and it worked fine for IPV6.
Maybe just a patch for OSX?
-
You might think so however the 857 was giving me an address, the 825 isn't. ???
