I follow this guide right above and it appears to work fine from the router, but my windows xp and vista machines do not receive a default ipv6 route. On the vista machine I can manually add routers ipv6 address as a default route, but I cannot do it on xp because they dont give you the controls.
Shouldn't it be getting autoconf'ed with a correct default route?
All it is getting configured with is some automagic ipv6 route and the ipv4 route.
after carefully reading through every post on this thread it seems like this is a common problem. The clients aren't receiving an ipv6 default route auto assigned. What is the solution to this?
EDIT:
fixed, i wasn't using the correct routed /64 line. I didn't notice there was any difference between it and my client ipv6. Now it is working with the above instructions from kunk.
And am now able to accept incoming connections. I hope I did it right. I don't know anything about iptables...
I wonder how many darn people are using this firewall configuration. One of the points of ipv6 is not limit connections due to nats and stuff. But if everyone is blocking incoming ports... well that doesn't help in this situation. I notice soon as I allowed incoming connections I got a ton of connections that I didn't previously have. So it looks like most people are following a firewall rule like this.
I have a WRT54G v2 that currently is running the regular, plain, DD-WRT v24 standard generic. Since no one else has really tried to run crushedhat's firmware on one of these, I'm going to give it a go tonight. I'll post how it runs. If anyone has any tips before I do, or has tried it and had problems, I'd love to know beforehand though!
I haven't finished setting up ipv6 yet, but I can confirm that I flashed the WRT54G v2 with crushedhat's build and it works.

I've got the custom crushedhat (Release: 2008-07-31 14:52 (SVN revision: 10070M) running successfully on my ASUS WL-520GU.
I run Fedora so I used the tftp method to put dd-wrt.v24_mini_asus.trx on first (tftp -v -m binary 192.168.1.1 -c put dd-wrt.v24_mini_asus.trx). Once it was on I used the dd-wrt web interface to do a firmware upload of dd-wrt.v24-10070_crushedhat_4MB.bin.
I've got IPv6 working to HE. I'd originally tried to get it working with SixXs and AICCU, but I could not get it to install. It's probably for the better since I've not got much space and I need to load some USB Printer stuff.
I couldn't get radvd working last night when I was there, but it appears to be working (I'm remote so I cannot test on the LAN side just yet).

As I posted a few back, I have an ASUS WL-520GU. It works good with the latest crushedhat mini version, except it has no USB support.
The latest SVN mini+usb works fine with USB support for printing, but IPv6 support.
Any chance I could get an image with both? Actually, I suspect I may be game to learn how to roll my own and get the maximum featureset for my router, but need to get pointed in the right direction.
I was expecting to post a new version of my modified firmware soon, but it looks like I won’t be able to work on it again for another couple of weeks.
I’d rather do it right in a couple of weeks than post something rushed that doesn’t work right.
Do you still have any plan to release another version of your FW based on a more recent v24 build? _________________ 2x WRT54G v2

Thanks,
Ok, disregard the request for USB support. I don't think you could fit it into the same image for 4mb flash routers. I ended up needing a connection downstairs for a fixed PC and I wasn't able to cable it without going outside the house (ick). So I ended up re-purposing the ASUS WL-520GU as a client-bridge downstairs. This worked out better anyway as having our printer/copier downstairs is more central for everyone.
So as to not fight with things, I bought a Buffalo WHR-HP-G54 just like what Crushedhat has and of course the image just worked. I loaded the latest mini v24-sp1 build 10020 (dd-wrt.v24_mini_generic.bin 2008-07-27) first via tftp, and then once it booted uploaded the latest Crushedhat 4mb version (dd-wrt.v24-10070_crushedhat_4MB.bin) and configured everything per his notes with a HE.net tunnel. IPv6 works great.
Hey, one request I have is for IPv6 DNS server support with DHCP. If I use HE.net's IPv6 DNS server then I get all of my Google services over IPv6 automagically. I can do this if I run my own DHCP server or configure it manually on each host - but that's defeats the whole purpose of DHCPd on a small low-energy router that I have to have on anyway vs. any PCs/servers which don't have to be on.

Make sure DNSMasq is enabled, then add
server=/#/2001:470:20::2
in the additional options box.
That will send all DNS requests to the HE IPv6 server. ('#' matches all domains.)
Of course, you could just use their IPv4 DNS server, 74.82.42.42; it gives the same answers.
Hi there, I just got IPv6 working using crushedhat's build with the help of this thread. I noticed that I was able to access the router system information page via the router's ipv6 address - and realized that it might be visible to the ipv6 internet. Despite having a secure router password I'd rather this page not be visible to the outside world. Is there a way to disable http access over ipv6?

I note that an earlier post suggested that google over ipv6 be accessed thusly, if you have a hurricane electric tunnel.

this is kind of a bad idea, if you lose your tunnel for any reason, everything goes down. Rather, just direct your requests to ipv6 google via this in your dnsmasq options.
server=/google.com/2001:470:20::2
I note that gmail is also ipv6 enabled, although it may not be official. You can add:
server=/gmail.com/2001:470:20::2
I'm told that sixxs is running a dns nameserver for google over ipv6 as well.
