    Cannot ping with IPv6

    Hi,

    I'm running Windows Vista Ultimate with IPv6 and Teredo installed and
    enabled, but it seems I

    am unable to ping any hosts on the local network (which consists of one
    other XP SP3 machine)

    or internet. Both computers are connected to a standard router (Dell
    TrueMobile 2300, which is

    IPv4 only I believe). Still, an IPv4 router should not matter considering
    Teredo should be

    enabled on both computers.

    Running ipconfig returns the following:

    Here is what some of the ping commands returned. (I do not have much of an
    understanding of

    IPv6, so I may be giving a bad address to ping some of the time.)

    Pings to all other addresses with/without zone IDs have similar results.



    A ping to any of the sites listed on http://www.ipv6.org/v6-www.html from
    Vista returns:

    Ping request could not find host www.6bone.net. Please check the name and
    try again.

    And on XP something like:

    ----------------------------------------------------------------

    No surprise, I also can't view any of the sites from IE7/Firefox.
    I'll be glad to provide any other info that is needed to diagnose the problem.

    Thanks.

    RE: Cannot ping with IPv6

    Ok, I've resolve everything on Vista now. I can access several IPv6 websites
    (not sure why only a few, but I'm assuming it's simply because of the Teredo
    server). On XP I'm having the same problems: Request timed out.

    Hi Alex,

    So what was your solution?

    RE: Cannot ping with IPv6

    Firstly I ran (in PowerShell):
    netsh interface ipv6 teredo show state

    This gave me information on the state of Teredo (which was inactive because
    of an error). I re-enabled Teredo using the disable/set commands with the
    entrepriseclient option, followed by:
    netsh interface ipv6 reset

    After a restart (not sure this was necessary) everything seemed to work
    fairly well. I could ping IPv6 servers and view IPv6 websites (only some
    however, but I believe this limitation is due to the MS Teredo server).

    I later found out that it is impossible to get it working on XP with my
    network configuration, since my router has a symmetric NAT and the version of
    Teredo for XP does not support symmetric NATs (Vista has partial support for
    symmetric NATs).

    Not sure how common this problem is, but I only found it documented
    (inconclusively) on one web page after much searching. Hopefully this
    solution will help some of you trying to get IPv6 working on Vista...

    Re: Cannot ping with IPv6


    Hi All,

    IPV6 clients do not connect to ipv6 server under link local NAT Setup,
    unless the interface ids (also known as zone id) of the clients and
    server are same.

    To give more clarity let me put it in an example,

    A NAT Server and a client under it

    if the NAT client link local address is fe80::ec84:1634:d659:2aba%4
    and Server link local address is fe80::211:5bff:fec2:82dc%10


    then the client and server cannot communicate with each other since the
    interface id is 4 and 10 respectively.

    only when the interface ids are same, the machines can ping each
    other.

    one work around is that client pinging the server with client interface
    id
    ex: ping fe80::211:5bff:fec2:82dc%4 instead of
    fe80::211:5bff:fec2:82dc%10


    else client has to disable and enable its network interface 6 times to
    equal the interface id of server.
