Not much to say here, but worth posting none-the-less.
I was in the mood for a blonde lager today. This heineken 24oz. can hit the spot.

I wrote a howto a while back on how to setup windows vista with a ipv6 tunnel to tunnelbroker.net – this post can be found here http://larmeir.com/?p=354 . To follow up on this I host a Debian etch 5.0 server in my office that I use for troubleshooting network connections and as a backup system for my webserver. Below is how I setup the ipv6 tunnel:
#ip tunnel add he-ipv6 mode sit remote my.tunnel.broker.ip local 192.168.1.8 ttl 255
#ip link set he-ipv6 up
#ip addr add 2001:470:1f0e:4ee::2/64 dev he-ipv6
# ip route add ::/0 dev he-ipv6
#ip -f inet6 addr
Also, dont forget to check that the ipv6 kernel module is loaded:
~# lsmod | grep ipv6
ipv6 235364 31 sit
If not then load it:
# modprobe ipv6
then test it 
~# ping6 -c4 ipv6.google.com
PING ipv6.google.com(vx-in-x68.google.com) 56 data bytes
64 bytes from vx-in-x68.google.com: icmp_seq=1 ttl=56 time=116 ms
64 bytes from vx-in-x68.google.com: icmp_seq=2 ttl=56 time=117 ms
64 bytes from vx-in-x68.google.com: icmp_seq=3 ttl=56 time=116 ms
64 bytes from vx-in-x68.google.com: icmp_seq=4 ttl=56 time=116 ms
— ipv6.google.com ping statistics —
4 packets transmitted, 4 received, 0% packet loss, time 3011ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 116.301/116.750/117.440/0.429 ms
Hopefully this will help somone with Debian when trying to get a ipv6 tunnel setup.
