I'm curious about your test setup that you intend to use to debug/test.<br>
I would recommend that all the machines you use have global v6 addresses<br>
and working global connectivity. But, global addresses without<br>
connectivity should be ok for testing. You can self-allocate via 6to4<br>
safely, even if you don't interoperate with it (2002://16, with the next<br>
32 bits being your v4 address, and then you have 16 bits of subnet).<br></blockquote><div> </div><div>I have three sites: Parent's house in Boston, my apartment in Bulgaria, and my NGO where I'm a Peace Corps Volunteer. At my apartment, I have a Linux box with a tunnel broker connection running that hands out addresses in my /64. Everything gets auto-assigned addresses (both the standard ones and the privacy ones) from radvd running on the Linux box. The clients are Windows XP, OS X 10.5, Ubuntu, and Android. At work, same thing but add in some Windows 7 clients. At my parent's house OS X 10.5 is the tunnel broker end point with radvd. I have tahoe storage nodes running at all the sites. I haven't ever used the fe80 addresses before, so I never saw the intricacies of them. Global addresses are the way to go, but like you said, fe80 would be nice to get working some day. The working screenshot that I attached to my first message is using the global privacy auto-assigned addresses except for one that connected first to the global non-privacy auto-assigned address, I still have to find how it chose to do that and what things it failed on to get to that point. All of those nodes are running on one host right now, I still haven't gone multi-host. When I do, it will be in my normal setup and it will be with these same global addresses provided by HE.<br>
