Second: setting accept_ra and accept_ra_defrtr to 1 didn't solve the problem for me: the RA message were ignored. I checked in the Linux kernel code where the messages are handled, and they are dropped if forwarding is enabled, even if accept_ra is set. So this doesn't solve the problem. The strange thing is that there has to be way to configure the default route! We probably miss here something... S. Hi guys,

To digress slightly: what my "getting IPv6 working on a home server" exercise has told me in no uncertain terms is that while it's true that the IPv6 stack has been around for years now, the integration of the elements to provide a working solution for home users is a long way from complete. The basic bricks are there, but a complete, smooth working solution for home users is absolutely not yet ready. I hope that my IPv6 articles are a small step in that direction. Indeed!!
