I have an SixXS account since 2005 and had it already working, but at some time.. it stopped working or I was to lazy to set it up again (maybe it was after the Debian -> Gentoo switch). :) My server had ipv6 connectivity through SixXS all the time, static routes seem to be easier to set up.

Recently I wanted to set it up again for my workstation but was not able to get it to work. With some help from jokey I found out that the biggest problem was my version of aiccu, the tool which is supposed to automatically set up ipv6 configs for SixXS. After updating to the latest unstable version (2007.01.25, which is, thanks to jokey, stable by now) I was able to ping my PoP using ipv6—this was at least some kind of success.. :)

After that I found out that aiccu fails to set up a working default route and that this was the reason why I could not access any other ipv6 hosts. I fixed that by adding the appropriate rule manually:

ip route add 2000::/3 dev tun0

Now I’ve got a working ipv6 connection again. :)
