Windows XP as Router
![[nl]](/s/countries/nl.gif) Shadow Hawkins on Sunday, 03 August 2003 19:45:43
Does anybody here have Windows XP as a IPv6 router?
I haven't got a subnet yet so I can't setup it up yet.
I haven't found any information/experience elsewhere.
I am just searching for some information before I try it myself.
Windows XP as Router
Check How do I configure my machine to setup the IPv6 in IPv4 tunnel to the SixXS POP?.
There are some handy links in there pointing to the Microsoft documentation which state how to do it.
In short you will need the following:
ipv6 rtu <prefix>/64 <interface-id> pub life 1800
ipv6 ifc <interface-id> forw adv
the rtu command assigns a prefix to the interface which gets published.
The ifc command reconfigures the interface to do router advertising of the assigned prefix and ofcourse forwading of these packets aka let the box act as a gateway.

Maby it is a good idea to add this to the FAQ here:
How do I give connectivity to other hosts on my subnet?
FAQ-Subnetting
I don't know how many people only use Windows at home (but I do)...
and it would be nice to use a windows based router for IPv6 trafic

Oops...
the problem is my Windows Workstation only has IPv4 yet
when I got a subnet (I can request it tomorrow) I hopefully can use IPv6 on my workstation to...
only my server has IPv6 / IPv4 dual stack....

It seems I can't get it to work....
Any one here who can help me?
I tried the ipv6 commands and the netsh commands
ipv6 rtu [MySubnet]/60 4 pub
ipv6 ifc 4 forw adv
netsh interface ipv6 add route [MySubnet]/60 4 publish=yes
netsh interface ipv6 set interface 4 forward=enabled advertise=enabled
I assigned the prefix to my LAN interface is this the right one? or do I need to use the SiXXs interface I created with:
netsh interface ipv6 add v6v4tunnel SixXS [MyIPv4] [POPIPv4]
netsh interface ipv6 add address SixXS [MyIPv6]
netsh interface ipv6 add route [POPIpv6]/127 SixXS
netsh interface ipv6 add route 0::/0 SixXS
I Got the folowing routes on my server now:
Publ. Type Met Voorvoegsel Idx Naam gateway/interface
------- -------- ---- ------------------------ --- ------------------------
yes Handmatig 0 [MySubnet]/60 4 LAN
no Handmatig 1 ::/0 9 SixXS
no Handmatig 1 [POPIpv6]/127 9 SixXS
And this one on my Client(s)
Publ. Type Met Voorvoegsel Idx Naam gateway/interface
------- -------- ---- ------------------------ --- ------------------------
no Automatische configuratie 8 [MySubnet]/60 4 LAN

I changed the /60 to /64 and now my client get's an IPv6 ip address from the range but Pinging / tracing doesn't work :'(
Windows XP as Router
It's quite logical that RA'ing a /60 won't do much good as a /64 goes on a link.
Also you might want to try enabling forwarding on more interfaces. You will at least need to turn it on for the tunnel interface and for the interface where your network is on.
For the rest try the Network Monitor, Ethereal or ofcourse tcpdump to find out what is going on...

I got it working now *D *D *D
I forgot to publis the routes from the SixXS tunnel intreface |:( |:( |:(
maby it is a good idea to add the following script for Windows XP to the FAQ:
netsh interface ipv6 add v6v4tunnel SixXS [YourIPv4] [POPIPv4]
netsh interface ipv6 add address SixXS [YourIPv6]
netsh interface ipv6 add route [POPIPv6]/[IPv6Prefix] SixXS publish=yes
netsh interface ipv6 add route 0::/0 SixXS publish=yes
netsh interface ipv6 add route [SubNetPrefix]/64 [LANIFID] publish=yes
netsh interface ipv6 set interface SixXS forwarding=enabled
netsh interface ipv6 set interface [LANIFID] forwarding=enabled advertise=enabled

hi there,
I'm training to use my xp as a router, and i'm following the command posted, but can anyone explain me that what is [LANIFID] and where i can find it ?
Regards, and thanks ..
Windows XP as Router
training? :)
The "LANIFID" is either the number of the interface or the name of it, normally it will default to "Ethernet Cable" or something similar, though you can rename them in Network Connections (or the registry ;).

How about reading the FAQ ?
Or showing what you have done, because we can't smell it now can we ? :)
Windows XP as Router
See the Windows FAQ it has been in there almost the same as you are showing above for quite some time already even including explaination of what what command does
