Re: Unable to connect to IPv6 Newsgroups

Is the IPv6 working at least? Or, is nothing working at all?

If it's the former, ensure that the newsgroup has the IP of: 127.0.0.1. The only difference between newsgroups should be the port numbers, assuming that you're following the page that I linked. You can also try telnet-ing or performing a trace route to the IPv6 newsgroups as napsterbater and justsomeguy suggested previously. In the event that the trace route and telnet are successful, then something's probably misconfigured in SabNZBD.

If it's the latter, make sure your current IP is the one that HE has in your account.

I haven't changed anything in the NIC settings so everything should be default, I believe. You can confirm that your IPv6 is working (or not working) by going to sites like: »whatismyv6.com/

Hope that helps.

If he dose have IPv6 connectivity he can simply setup the true DNS names of the servers.

What do you mean by the 127.0.0.1? SabNZBD can access IPv6 natively with out redirecting or anything like that.

Ahh, okay. I'm not really familiar with SabNZBD but that's a good thing that you pointed that out. (It's always good to learn something new.)

When using GrabIt (per the previous instructions), you need to stick in 127.0.0.1 so that it acts as a proxy between IPv4 and IPv6 networks. Then, the only difference would be in the port numbers which refer to the various newsgroups.

Thanks for your post. I changed to port# to correspond with the link you provided and changed all IPs to localhost

Unfortunately I am unable to connect to any IPv6 newsgroups. Any further assistance is appreciated

I have my NIC binded to the following ...

Client for MS Networks
File and Printer Sharing for MS Networks
TCPIP ipv4

C:\Users\Derek>tracert -6 reader.ipv6.xsnews.nl

Tracing route to reader.ipv6.xsnews.nl [2a02:d28:5580:c::101:3]
over a maximum of 30 hops:

1 457 ms 108 ms 109 ms teredo-relay.easycolocate.nl [2a02:728:e:67::82]

2 108 ms 112 ms 108 ms xmr8k-easynet1.as39556.net [2a02:728:e:67::1]

Please note I am unable to telnet the server on port 119

If you are using SabNZBD dont set the server to localhost set it to the servers DNS name and set the port to 119, SabNZBD can do IPv6 on its own.

Hi Napsterbater,

I have completed the changes mentioned in your post above. Unfortunately I am not able to connect to the IPv6 newsgroups.

It was working before the weekend. I suspect my Gateway6 client is not working or their service is down. I would prefer to use the HE tunnels since it is free and appears to be more stable than the Gateway6 client.

Can you think of any reasons why I am unable to connect? I do not believe my IPv6 tunnel is working because I am unable to get my IPv6 address from whatismyip.com. What is odd...I can tracert -6 to the IPv6 newsgroup.

Thanks,
D

From your tracert's look like you are using a terdo relay not the Gateway6 network.

With the Gateway6 working you should now be setup for IPv6 newsgroups, also try restarting SABnzbd+ in case your IPv6 changed.

Hi Nap,

How do I use the HE tunnel rather than the Gateway6 client? Is that the Teredo relay you mentioned in your note?

Here is the code from my windows batch file used to setup the HE tunnel...
netsh interface ipv6 add v6v4tunnel IP6Tunnel 69.196.128.252 216.66.38.58
netsh interface ipv6 add address IP6Tunnel 2001:470:1c:1be::2
netsh interface ipv6 add route ::/0 IP6Tunnel 2001:470:1c:1be::1

If you use HE you would have to update your IP on their site every time your IP changes, you could look at Sixxs.net they have a client and it pretty stable.

I updated my post below with the windows batch file commands I am using. Do I need to make any changes to my DD-WRT router?

I received the following error when i ran this line...
netsh interface ipv6 add v6v4tunnel IP6Tunnel 69.196.128.252 216.66.38.58

You were not connected because a duplicate name exists on the network. If joinin
g a domain, go to System in Control Panel to change the computer name and try ag
ain. If joining a workgroup, choose another workgroup name.

You will need to forward Protocol 41 to you computers LAN IP (you should set you computer IP to a static IP outside of the DHCP pool)

Add this to DD-WRT's firewall script (administration -> commands and replace 10.0.1.2 with you computers LAN IP)

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i ppp0 -p 41 -j DNAT --to 10.0.1.2
iptables -t filter -A FORWARD -i ppp0 -p 41 -d 10.0.1.2 -j ACCEPT

Tried that and no luck. I think I have screwed up my IPv6 settings. Im going to try and reset them

Is there a way to reset the Teredo tunnel and all IPv6 tunnels/routes added?

Hi Nap,

I performed the command and restarted the system. I encounter the following error...

C:\Users\Derek\Desktop>netsh interface ipv6 add v6v4tunnel IP6Tunnel 69.196.128.252 216.66.38.58
You were not connected because a duplicate name exists on the network. If joining a domain, go to System in Control Panel to change the computer name and try again. If joining a workgroup, choose another workgroup name.

How do I reset the v6v4tunnel?

Try

netsh interface ipv6 show interface

Look for the interface number of "IP6Tunnel" and replace x with that number

netsh interface ipv6 delete interface=x

then recheck

netsh interface ipv6 show routes

Hi Nap,

I tried the command I have deleted the IPv6tunnel. When I run the commands provided from HE's website I see it added without errors.

I tried a IPv6 newsgroup and it didn't work. I also tried an IPv6 site and it didn't work.

Thanks for sticking with me throughout these issues. I appreciate it. What should I try next?

typed before I saw that post, let me see your routes now, then try and delete the interface and try the command below (confirm address are correct.

netsh interface ipv6 add v6v4tunnel IP6Tunnel 69.196.128.252 216.66.38.58
netsh interface ipv6 add address IP6Tunnel 2001:470:1c:1be::2
netsh interface ipv6 add route ::/0 IP6Tunnel 2001:470:1c:1be::1 metric=5
netsh interface ipv6 set route 2001:470:1c:1be::2/128 IP6Tunnel metric=4

also did you add this to your DD-WRT
said by Napsterbater:

Add this to DD-WRT's firewall script (administration -> commands and replace 10.0.1.2 with you computers LAN IP)

If you router is doing pppoe leave ppp0 if you are using a DHCP WAN address let me know what model DD-WRT is on.
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i ppp0 -p 41 -j DNAT --to 10.0.1.2
iptables -t filter -A FORWARD -i ppp0 -p 41 -d 10.0.1.2 -j ACCEPT

Hi Nap,

I added the FW settings and restarted the router
I updated my batch file with the new WAN IP and HE Tunnel via the website
I added the metrics and new line to the batch file

Unfortunately I am unable to get any IPv6 sites.

I just thought of something replace your WAN IP with your LAN IP in the batch file, also your DD-WRT is connecting to your ISP with PPPoE right?

netsh interface ipv6 add v6v4tunnel IP6Tunnel 69.196.128.252 ( <--REPLACE WITH LAN IP) 216.66.38.58

Thank you for your assistance Nap. After setting the "WAN IP" to 192.168.1.2 all functionality was restored.
Please note I had to delete my existing IPv6Tunnel using the netsh delete before adding the proper netsh command with 192.168.1.2
