I have spanning tree enabled; tried disable and Enable and reboot;
running 2.70.26

Any suggestions ?

Thanks

Spanning tree has nothing to do with WAN. Does your ISP support native IPv6 through DHCP? If not, then you shouldn't enable DHCP support on the IPv6 page.

OK problem came back;
Nvram clear
flashed .270 (None Merlin)
configured IPV6
added Opendns Sandbox on IPv6 DNS Server
apply result in broken client6
configured router
shut down 60 sec powered on
it works;
if I just go into IPV6 and hit apply it breaks..

I have seen this error too and think i found out what it is.

I think when you enable ipv6 the router doesn't initially connect to ipv6 and is unable to make a connection so it will give that error ( if you go to your ipv6 page and don't see any information filled in you will see the error). I found that once my ipv6 connects (involves me going to the "network map" and turning off the internet connection and then turning it back on) the errors stop. Basically its the router being unable to connect to ipv6, but once it connects the messages stop
