I don't understand... :)

I have a computer which has a ntt tunnel onto the 6bone and I have a /48 set of
addresses to play with.

What I want to do and appear to be powerless to achieve is get the machines
which the computer is attached to be able to use it as a router to the
6bone.

Currently I can use the link-layer address and specify the interface to
ping6 another computer but that machine couldn't find the rtadv messages my
rtadvd was sending and even with a manual ifconfig ifn inet6 alias
2001::... we couldn't ping6 the 2001 addresses even specifying an interface
(tcpdump didn't show these pings but did show the fe80 ones).

Also, when I was running rtadvd my default ipv6 interface was changed to the
ethernet instead of the gif tunnel.

I'm totally confused.

The OS is OpenBSD 2.7.

How get worky or where look?
