How do you turn this on as it's required for multiplayer by Xbox gaming on the xbone s supplied by Orcon unfortunately the Fritzbox they use is limited in what you can fiddle with and I can't find any setting to turn on/off IPv6 or Teredo tunneling withing the menus

I have been here to find out whats what http://support.xbox.com/en-NZ/xbox-one/networking/multiplayer-connection-error-solution?icid=furl_xboxone-teredo

but most of the setting they need me to change can't be done on the Orcon supplied Fritz-box 7490

Yup that was the advanced view pretty newted if you ask me the update firmware button has been taken out too so I can't even do that looks like they locked this down tighter than the proverbial nun

Never mind found it you got me thinking @richms so I clicked where it said standard view and TADA IPv6 settings are now available

Well I may have found the setting to turn on 6to4 tunneling but it didn't make a jot of difference the XBOne still refuses to play ball

For what its worth, I dont know of anyone that has had to turn anything on for that to work on xbox at all. Its always just worked fine.

Its more a case of the router or ISP not blocking access to the teredo relay servers.

You dont have anything enabled about parantal controls or similar do you?

Well I give up I've done everything even using manual port forwarding setting from Xbox Gaming on both the IPv4 and IPv6 settings pages and still I get the

" Unable to get a Toredo Address" please reboot your modem and wait 30 seconds and test again blurb

Right now I'm about to pull out my hair or hit something with a hammer Ahggggggggg

If it said 'Standard view' you definitely were not looking at the advanced settings. IPv6 will only show when advanced view is enabled.

I too am not aware of any requirement to enable something on the Fritzbox to get the Xbox working. My son just uses his without any special config that I had to do. Does your ISP support IPv6? If your ISP does, you should see a yellow IPv6 above the GeekZone logo. That should make your Xbox life easier.

The only thing is that some parental control bollux will block it since its used as a way around the filters, that is why I asked about that. I understand that some of the vocus brands also offer controls on the ISP side which I would expect would stuff up teredo

https://en.avm.de/guide/gaming/fritzbox-and-xbox-one-setting-up-an-internet-connection/ This link also is not very helpful.

On your Fritzbox, do you have a System menu on the left? Hopefully you can see an Update option there (expecially now that you are in Advanced view). You could always try to download the image file from https://en.avm.de/service/downloads/download/show/18857/ and do the update manually.

Hi everyone well the frustration has ended thankfully thanks to a helpful man by the name of Dave at Snappernet

and the setting is found under

/Internet/Filters/Lists ....... at the very bottom of the page is the above setting which comes ticked by default and needs to be unticked in order for the XBOne to make a Teredo Tunnel

so all fixed finally and the boy is up and running er well sitting and playing at anyrate :) thanks for the help guys

According to Dave it's just block everything trying to make a teredo tunnel full stop

and according to him Orcon should have known about the setting and been able to tell me yesterday when I rang them

From Dave Dornan @snappernet

Fritz Article

Then simply times in the search engine " Xbox One entered Teredo" and see directly that AVM (manufacturer of the FRITZ! -series) Has published an article that the Teredo protocol in the latest FRITZ! Box (7490) lock.

The reason: "The Xbox One does not use online games company's existing Internet connection using the Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6), but tries to establish its own IPv6 connectivity over the Teredo protocol. This behavior of the Xbox contradicts the Teredo standard (RFC 4380 Section 5.5). "Therefore, in the latest firmware for the router is 7490 Teredo automatically on the blocklist.

Under "Internet"> "Filter"> "Lists"> "Teredo-Filter active" you can let the lock out. Then click on "Accept" and it already works again. Keep in mind that the connection to the Internet is interrupted briefly when the change is made there.

Then try the game again in online mode and lo and behold, it works. According to AVM, they will soon extend the established set as an update to all routers and not just the FRITZ! Box 7490.

nope this box has been locked down by Orcon so I can't do an update to the latest firmware although Dave (snapper net) did say to ring orcon and tell them they need to update the firmware to the latest
