Semi static IP number
![[se]](/s/countries/se.gif) Shadow Hawkins on Wednesday, 06 March 2013 14:34:08
Many of us have what I would like to call a semi static IP number. Our IP provider gives us a dynamic IP, but it rarely (as in only whenever our system is down for several days) changes.
When it changes, you can change the IP number on this web site, but that doesn't work at all.
You also have to keep the old script that you got when first you set your tunnel up, and there change your IP number and then run it again, but with your new IP number in it. E.g.
rem Windows XP/.Net IPv6 in IPv4 Tunnel Script
rem Autogenerated by SixXS Website (http://www.sixxs.net)
rem Created at 2012-11-06 00:37:47
netsh interface ipv6 install
netsh interface ipv6 add v6v4tunnel SixXS <my new IPv4> <my old end IPv4>
netsh interface ipv6 add address SixXS <my old IPv6>
netsh interface ipv6 add route <my old IPv6> SixXS
netsh interface ipv6 add route 0::/0 SixXS
netsh firewall set adapter SixXS icmp all=enable
As usual, the last command will not work on Win XP, but the rest of it will make your tunnel work once again.

Can you elaborate what part of that does not work?

If you have a proto-41 based tunnel you will have to update the endpoints of that tunnel indeed.
Unless you configure the system to not have a local endpoint defined so that it can select one automagically.

Sure I can elaborate.
As I said the last time this happened (November last year), just changing the IP number on the web site doesn't make this site able to ping the new end point.
For days I get this email reminder that my tunnel isn't working.
Once I remembered that I had to change the automatically generated script, and then run it, it worked within less than an hour.
All I want to say is, that you should probably add this information to the Wiki.

If you change the endpoint IPv4 address through the website it should be reflected at the PoP in about 10 minutes.
Indeed you still have to reconfigure your local endpoint, that is not something SixXS can do about if you have configured it that way.
All I want to say is, that you should probably add this information to the Wiki.
The Wiki is user-editted, as such, any user can add/change information there.
