IPv6 LAN

Does anyone have any idea on how to setup an ipv6 LAN on arch? I connect to the net from behind a router.

Re: IPv6 LAN

Well first your router must support IPv6...
Then if you want to enable IPv6 in Arch (which I think is disabled by default) :
Add this line to /etc/modprobe.conf

# Enable autoload of ipv6
alias net-pf-10 on

Re: IPv6 LAN

ipv6 is enabled on arch by default (i think), for my loopback interface has an ipv6 address, and my eth0 also takes up a default link-local address (fe80::...). My ISP has only IPv4 support, and my router also supports only IPv4. I just want an IPv6 LAN which is able to connect to the net.

Hmmm... in that case I think you'll need a tunnel since your ISP doesn't support IPv6.
This should help you : http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/ipv6.xml#doc_chap2

Re: IPv6 LAN

i got an account in freenet6 but i can't get their daemon gw6c to work... it connects and unexpectedly dies without opening a tunnel Too bad; I can get a 6to4 tunnel going tho, I suppose I've to set up radvd to broadcast the ipv6 address of the router box..
