Today I tried to get IPv6 working on the WAN interface of my M0n0wall 1.3b18 installation so that I could access the WebGUI via IPv6 (I can currently access it via IPv4 just fine). Note that this is the first time I've ever tried using the IPv6 capabilities of the M0n0wall beta.
I enabled IPv6, statically configured the IPv6 addresses on both the WAN and LAN interfaces (even though I won't be using IPv6 on LAN, I read an earlier post that indicated you needed to configure IPv6 addresses on both interfaces in order for it to work on M0n0wall).
I'm running on a fully IPv6 enabled network here (i.e., our routers broadcast RA's and all client systems autoconfigure their addresses via SLAAC), so I disabled RA on both M0n0wall interfaces.
I also added in a blanket exception into the IPv6 firewall config to allow ALL inbound/outbound IPv6 traffic to pass on both the WAN and LAN interfaces.
However, for some reason IPv6 just doesn't seem to work. I can't ping6 anything successfully, not even ::1, on either the WAN or LAN interfaces. Any ideas about what I might be doing wrong or forgetting?
Thanks!
