FreeBSD 4.11 IPv6-over-IPv4 tunnel problem

[Leon Messner]

Hi List,

I want to establish an IPv6-over-IPv4 tunnel to my ISP. After some
hours trying i got myself acounts at HE and XS26 for testing and they
work. My Setup is FreeBSD 4.11-STABLE with ip(6)fw (stateful) and natd running.
My ISP gave the appended setup information which is for Debian Linux
(which i've never used). The IPv4 endpoints are 217.197.85.214(me) and
192.109.42.23(ISP) the IPv6 endpoints are 2001:bf0:c00c::c00c:0002:2(me)
and 2001:bf0:c00c::c00c:0002:1(ISP). I asked my ISP for support but
they don't know the way for FreeBSD and they tell me the tunnel is
definitely working. 

I tried doing the following but this and several other approaches did
not yield anything :

zwelf:~# ifconfig gif0 create tunnel 217.197.85.214 192.109.42.23 up 
zwelf:~# ifconfig gif0 inet6 alias 2001:bf0:c00c::c00c:0002:2
zwelf:~# ping6 ff02::1%gif0

Thanks for reading, any comments appreciated
