[solved] IPv6 tunnel over IPv4 to IPv6 router?

Hi,

I have two Gentoo boxes, one is a router connecting to both the IPv4 and IPv6 internets and wired clients behind it can access both with no problems.

However the other box is a wireless client behind a Wi-Fi router which doesn't understand IPv6 at all. What I'd like to do is give this box an IP address in the /48 I've been allocated but it needs to tunnel through the IPv4-only connection to reach the main router.

I've done lots of searching and not found any working solutions to create a v6 over v4 tunnel to a specific endpoint. Can anyone give me a hand? Thanks

I believe this document has the commands you need to create a IPV4 tunnel for IPV6:

Cool, I had read that but I tried some things again and it works now!

Thanks!
