What have I missed? Did you add a route on box3 so that it can reach box1? Remember that ping6 requires two-way connectivity. You set net.inet6.ip6.accept_rtadv=1 on the end hosts...do you have rtadvd running on box2 so that they actually acquire the routes? You haven't really provided enough information to debug the problem. How about the output of ifconfig(8) and the routing tables on all three machines?
