[IPv6] IPV6 Issues

Hello!

I've been a long time lurker and finally joined.

I'm having problems with IPv6. I seem to be be getting an intermittent connection it comes and it goes. This morning I had a connection now I don't. Its been this way since it was implemented.

I'm on Windows 7 running a Netgear WNDR3700v1 router. I have it set to auto-detect and it goes to a 6to4 tunnel. I even tried the solutions given in some other threads and upgraded the firmware 1.0.16.98dnsNA and still no joy. If I set the internet connection to DHCP in the IPv6 tab I get no IPv6 addresses for WAN or LAN.

At first I thought the problem was my modem I had a Arris TM402 I think. I was due a new docsis 3.0 modem so I went to my local Com cast office and they gave me a Arris TG862 Telephony Gateway and still the same thing.

Even when I have IPv6 connectivity my browser still prefers IPv4 according to the various IPv6 test sites.I checked about:config in Firefox and network.dns.disableIPv6 is set to false.

Any Ideas?

Thanks in advance!

Ok first check with »mydeviceinfo.comcast.net/ and make sure your modem supports IPv6 on the CPE. I am thinking both of those models do not. Second PM me your cable modem mac and I will see if the CMTS your on supports v6. Most likely your doing a tunnel somewhere right now, do you have it setup for 6to4?

Re: [IPv6] IPV6 Issues

Take a look at the thread:

»[IPv6] Netgear WNDR3700v1 and Ipv6 Issues

Particularly important are the posts by Gerard1234 and MartinC on the 2nd page of the thread about the rebooting of modem and router with attention to unplugging and replugging the internet cable.

Worked for me.

I saw that mydevice info.I printed it out and took it with me when I went to get the modem. There is no check next to IPv6. I asked them about that and they said it just wasn't certified yet but it should work?!

It's on auto-detect and indicates 6to4.

The CMTS your connected to is a Cisco CMTS, so it isnt supported for native dual-stack at this time. So the 6to4 is the best option at this time.

It's not Comcast or your modem or your gateway. Windows7 has a built-in 6to4 support that seems to be available on-demand. Comcast support for ipv6 will assign you a physical IP and isn't available nationwide yet.

You can test your local availability with a site such as:
»test-ipv6.com/

C:\>ping -6 ipv6.google.com

The customer service rep or are they tellers they have manning the windows inside? I should have known they didn't know much. When I was making the exchange I asked about Arris modems and the guy said the only model they have is "Gateway" as if that were the brand name. There was a woman with him too saying the only brand they have is "Gateway".

When I got the box I realized they were talking about telephony gateway.

Can't say I like it. When I got it home I couldn't figure out how to turn off the wireless functionality eventually I found out you have to call Comcast to get it turned off. Also there's no standby button like on my old modem.

Does Comcast have different modems for different areas?

I would have liked to buy my own modem but Comcast does my phones too and you can't seem to buy telephony models anywhere retail.

I've run that test before with my old modem and the new one. I get 7/10 on the first part 10/10 on the second.

On the Comcast IPv6 test I score 10/10 on both parts.

What's the difference between these two pings? I know the addresses are different.

Did you deliberately use different domain names ? They resolved to different IP addresses which directed to two different servers possibly in different geographic areas. Likely due to CDN and load balancing.

Comcast wants you to think they are the only ones who can turn it off. But you can too remember to type in at the SSID: TIMEOUT.

One way to help find out is to use tracert instead of ping. I just did that by using "tracert" and "tracert-6" twice (for a total of four traceroutes) to the same Google hostname. Comcast's 6to4 tunnel route is similar for each traceroute until it actually reaches a Google device.

The answer is that Google simply appears to be using load balancing, and that is further confirmed by the multiple nslookup commands shown below:


C:\>nslookup -type=AAAA ipv6.google.com
*** Can't find server name for address 192.168.9.10: Non-existent domain
*** Default servers are not available

ipv6.l.google.com       AAAA IPv6 address = 2607:f8b0:4002:802::1013

Ok first check with »mydeviceinfo.comcast.net/ and make sure your modem supports IPv6 on the CPE. I am thinking both of those models do not. Second PM me your cable modem mac and I will see if the CMTS your on supports v6. Most likely your doing a tunnel somewhere right now, do you have it setup for 6to4?

I saw that mydevice info.I printed it out and took it with me when I went to get the modem. There is no check next to IPv6. I asked them about that and they said it just wasn't certified yet but it should work?!

It's on auto-detect and indicates 6to4.

Okay but should the IPv6 functionality go in and out the way it does?

Try changing your router to 6to4 (if it allows you to do that) instead of using auto detect, and see if that helps with losing IPv6 functionality.

Even when I have IPv6 connectivity my browser still prefers IPv4 according to the various IPv6 test sites.I checked about:config in Firefox and network.dns.disableIPv6 is set to false.

6to4 is a best effort transition technology and should only be used to reach IPv6 only hosts.

Therefore, if a host you're trying to reach is dual stacked (it has v4/v6), it will always prefer v4 when using 6to4. See rfc3484 - »tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3484

tl;dr IPv4 always preferred > 6to4. 6to4 only preferred when system you are trying to connect to is v6 only.

Again thanks for the replies everyone! After putting the router on 6to4 instead of auto-detect yesterday I haven't lost ipv6 connectivity.

Thanks you. How will I be able to tell when it does support IPv6?

Also when it does I can put my router on DHCP instead of 6to4 right?

First question: Keep an eye on »www.comcast6.net for Cisco CMTS updates. We are also working on a app\webpage to tell the users if they are on a v6 supported CMTS or not.

Second question: you are correct it should be as simple as changing from a 6to4 setup to a DHCPv6 setup.

Again thanks for the replies everyone! After putting the router on 6to4 instead of auto-detect yesterday I haven't lost ipv6 connectivity.

Thanks you. How will I be able to tell when it does support IPv6?

Also when it does I can put my router on DHCP instead of 6to4 right?

First question: Keep an eye on »www.comcast6.net for Cisco CMTS updates. We are also working on a app\webpage to tell the users if they are on a v6 supported CMTS or not.

Second question: you are correct it should be as simple as changing from a 6to4 setup to a DHCPv6 setup.

I have a Comcast issued Netgear WNR1000v2-VC with the latest V1.2.2.56NA IPv6 compatible firmware. It is currently working just fine using Comcast's 6to4 relay, but I notice that this router is no longer listed as IPv6 compatible on »mydeviceinfo.comcast.net ··· egateway . It used to be listed there, does its removal from that list mean that I will not be able to use it for native IPv6 when Comcast enables it at my location?

Windows7 has a built-in 6to4 support that seems to be available on-demand. Comcast support for ipv6 will assign you a physical IP and isn't available nationwide yet.

6to4 doesn't work behind NAT. I think you're thinking of Teredo here.

6to4 does work behind NAT. As long as you are able to configure your firewall to forward "protocol 41".

EDIT: Ops! 6in4 does.

Interesting. I am on a Windows XP PC behind a WNR1000v2-VC NAT router that is using the Comcast 6t04 relay, and IPv6 seems to be working just fine for me (with the MS Teredo explicitly disabled):

Your network setup is not setup as he described. It would if you have an IPv4 router (using NAT) with your IPv6 router sitting behind that or what is more common an individual host (Windows, an open source UNIX, etc.) host with a user wanting to use 6to4 through a router without IPv6 support and that will not work.

My post was in response to the statement below that in no way describes any particular network topology other than being behind a NAT router:
said by whfsdude:

6to4 doesn't work behind NAT. I think you're thinking of Teredo here.

And, if you follow the post chain back, you will see that remark was a reply to another post that referenced the OP's network topology. The OP's network topology is very similar to mine (a NAT router using a 6to4 tunnel to reach Comcast's 6to4 relay).

When he says "behind NAT" and also mentions Teredo that does imply a particular network topology and it is not as you have described. His post was in reference to a particular setup of 6to4 which is not how you have things setup.

You might want to consider going back and actually reading the posts in this thread, and see for yourself that the OP is running behind a NAT router with 6to4 enabled (just like me), and the OP's configuration is what this thread is about, not some imaginary network that only you see (and are discussing).

FWIW, since you obviously overlooked that post (and probably won't bother to look again), the OP's problem was fixed by enabling 6to4 instead of using auto config in the router (because the OP's connection does not yet have native IPv6 enabled):

When is the Comcast speedtest site going to reflect the IPv6 change?

I understand your router is doing 6to4 and announcing it (just like it would with ULA. or a unicast global).

My point was more to the fact that the poster had said Windows was using the built in 6to4 adapter. This is where Windows itself open a 6to4 tunnel. This is incorrect as it cannot be done behind NAT which should probably be pointed out so others browsing don't go enable 6to4 behind their router.

I think that you and Coon Dawg are just arguing semantics. I see your theoretical point, but the point that Coon Dawg is trying to make is that the OP is indeed running behind a Netgear router that is using 6to4 (enabling 6to4 in the router is what fixed the problem that triggered this thread).

Not sure if this is considered an issue or not but I used to get an IPv6 address that had a lease time of 4 days which is the same length as my IPv4 address. Now the past few days I'm only getting a 60 minute lease time for IPv6. Anyone else seeing that?
