Pinging tunnel endpoint

Should I be able to ping my tunnel endpoint (::2) from "outside," even if I don't have a subnet set up?

Yes, you should.

OK, I can only ping endpoint 2bd::2 from 74::2 if I first ping 74::2 from 2bd::2. After that, I can ping back and forth between the two servers without a problem.
Any ideas? 2bd::2 is a static IP, so it's up 24x7.

Connection Tracking. See the FAQ.

radvd is set up, seems to have resolved the problem (for now).
Question: Why isn't radvd required when running under OSX?

Hi
Jeroen probably meant this FAQ item: https://www.sixxs.net/faq/connectivity/?faq=conntracking
Also radvd is only needed on a router. It advertises the legit prefix that the clients are supposed to be using for creating their addresses. Plus it of course tells them which route to set so that their traffic is actually being routed.
If your Mac is the system that created the tunnel connection it is not really a client in this context. Hence there's no need for radvd. Only if you wanted additional systems to connect to the internet via the sixxs tunnel you'd have to set up a radvd so that those additional systems could auto-configure their addresses properly.
