Hurricane Electric ipv6 tunnel can't be setup in Windows 10 ... netsh command broken !!!

Hello,

Looks like netsh command has changed in Windows 10, because the standard HE.NET solution for creating an ipv6 tunnel does not work anymore:

netsh interface teredo set state disabled
netsh interface ipv6 add v6v4tunnel interface=IP6Tunnel <ext-ip> 184.105.253.14
netsh interface ipv6 add address IP6Tunnel 2001:470:1f10:111f::2
netsh interface ipv6 add route ::/0 IP6Tunnel 2001:470:1f10:111f::1

( <ext-ip> = ip address I got from my ISP )

I get this result:

C:\>netsh interface teredo set state disabled
Ok.

C:\>netsh interface ipv6 add v6v4tunnel interface=IP6Tunnel <ext-ip> 184.105.253.14
The function attempted to use a name that is reserved for use by another transaction.
(I've used other names for the string IP6Tunnel - some in quotes - but with exactly the same result.)

C:\>netsh interface ipv6 add address IP6Tunnel 2001:470:1f10:111f::2
The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.
(Which baffles me since this is the suggested syntax for this command AND works in OLDER versions of Windows)

C:\>netsh interface ipv6 add route ::/0 IP6Tunnel 2001:470:1f10:111f::1
The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.
(Ditto here.)

On Windows 8.x and older it works like a charm, on Windows 10 IT IS BROKEN !!!
ALL commands are executed at an administrative command prompt !!!

Please help ... ?

Hi,

The netsh command is still available on Windows 10 as below:

You should contact Hurricane Electric broker to confirm if it's compatible with Windows 10.
