IPv6 routing

[paul van den bergen]

Hi all,

I am attempting to set up some static ipv6 routes on my little network.

example:

box1 - fec0:0:0:1::1 -------- fec0:0:0:1::2 - box 2 (router) - fec0:0:0:2:1 
--------  fec0:0:0:2:2 - box 3

I want to reach from box 1 to box 3

no route6d or anything... this is a really simple network.

sysctl net.inet6.ip6.forwarding=1, net.inet6.ip6.accept_rtadv=0 on box 2 (the 
router)
sysctl net.inet6.ip6.forwarding=0, net.inet6.ip6.accept_rtadv=1 on boxes 1 and 
3 (the hosts).

route add -inet6 -net fec0:0:0:2:: -prefixlen 64 -host fec0:0:0:1::2
on box1

box2 can ping6 to box1 and box3 and vise versa.

why can't box 1 ping6 box 3? What have I missed?
