Ok lets get started.
I got a SYS from OVH and IPv6 is playing up.
ping6 ipv6.google.com
PING ipv6.google.com(2a00:1450:400c:c04::8a) 56 data bytes
From 2001:41d0:8:528c::2 icmp_seq=1 Destination unreachable: Address unreachable

Anyone any ideas?

Can you ping the gateway?
Nope. It's the one OVH set too
That's your problem then
Any ideas how to fix? I ain't a huge ipv6 user but need it atm
What configuration details have you been given by OVH?
Tom, ===> Skype
Ovh gives default gateways that are outside the subnet they assign. You need a static route to the gateway or lower the prefix so they are in the same network.
@joereid extending the prefix beyond the allocation is not the greatest idea.
That's why I said to add a static route first
@joereid I'm not saying you haven't,
I'm just pointing out that the 2nd solution is no solution to this problem.
