Setting up 6to4

I am playing with ipv6. I am on ipv4 only network and I have a plublically routable ipv4 adress:

[root@pcxxxxxxx ~/downloads]# ifconfig eth0
eth0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST>  mtu 1500  metric 1
        inet 83.101.52.79  netmask 255.255.255.0  broadcast 83.101.52.255
        inet6 fe80::203:dff:fe5a:917a  prefixlen 64  scopeid 0x20<link>
        ether 00:03:0d:5a:91:7a  txqueuelen 1000  (Ethernet)
        RX packets 1501  bytes 765571 (747.6 KiB)
        RX errors 0  dropped 0  overruns 0  frame 0
        TX packets 1916  bytes 237568 (232.0 KiB)
        TX errors 0  dropped 0 overruns 0  carrier 0  collisions 0
        device interrupt 16  base 0x8000  

I am trying to set up 6to4 with the instruction I found here: http://www.wtfm.org/ip6to4. The provided script apparently works (after having corrected the line getting the ipv4 address from ifconfig; whose syntax has apparently slightly changed). But when I try to access a ipv6 only site such as ipv6.google.com , the connection always time out. I use 8.8.8.8 as DNS server and I am able to ping the 6 to 4 relay (192.88.99.1). As anyone succeed to set up such a config under arch? I have no idea what I do wrong
