This article was previously published under Q329984 SYMPTOMS When you publish a route to an interface on a Windows
Server 2003-based computer that is configured as an IPv6 6to4 router, the 6to4
router service quits unexpectedly. CAUSE This issue occurs because the network stack disables the
6to4 interface when you add a 2002 address to the public interface.
By default, the 6to4 interface is disabled when you have a global address. When
the 2002 address is added to the public interface, the stack recognizes this as
a global address and therefore disables the 6to4 interface. WORKAROUND To work around this issue, manually set the 6to4 state to
enabled. To do this:
- Click Start, click Run, type cmd in the Open box, and then click OK.
- Type netsh interface ipv6 6to4 set state
enabled, and then press ENTER.
- Close the command prompt.
