ok, re-Read the message.  that's pretty odd... can you email me an image of the gateways single page.

Here are some screen captures.

can you look in /tmp/ and see if you have a file called ***_defaultgw6 ?

There is no such file.

[marjohn56]

Sorry wrong file. look for ***_routerv6

[marjohn56]

pretty sure we've been down this road before with your system. I think we have to manually add a gateway for dpinger to use.

There is hn0_router and hn0_pdinfo, but no hn0_routerv6. We've done a lot of hacking over the past few years, but I don't recall ever having to manually add a gateway. The default route points to the gateway so the system already knows about it. Why would it have to be manually created?

[marjohn56]

because your not getting a response from rtsold probes to your ISP, which in turn means there's no *_routerv6  file which in turn means that the gateway address is not found, so it's not displayed. I guess the option might be to use netstat to find the gateway when all else fails.

Every time I executed /sbin/rtsol, there was an RS and an RA, observed using wireshark.

Here is the output from the command line:

then the file should exist. Can you email me with the remote access details and I'll log in. I'll need notepad++, winscp and putty available.
