DHCPv6 Question

[Brian Hamacher]

Wim,
 
If I look through my Router Advertisments I do see the FE80 address that should be getting set as the default gateway.  After looking through the Router Advertisment a bit more it does appear to be telling the client about the flags that are set in this case "M" and "O" .  It also defines the Prefix for the network.  Is that the correct packet to be looking at?  It is sourced from the router and being sent to the ff01::1 All Nodes Address.
 
Brian

Yes, you should be getting the default gateway from Router Advertisements (unfortunately not yet from DHCPv6).
Do you see the advertisements in wireshark ?

	Wim,

	Thank you for the advice that did fix my issue on the Windows 7 laptop.  I am now getting dns information.  The next trouble I am having is I am not getting a default gateway.  Correct me if I am wrong but I thought that was derived from the Router Advertisments?  Is there a setting or option I need to change to get this information passed to the client?

	 

	Thank You

	In my test setup (only fixed ipv6 addresses via dhcp) I also had to disable privacy addresses in windows 7.

	　

	netsh interface ipv6 set privacy state=disabled
