Need help: Windows Server 2012 R2 with Hyper-V. Want to use my IPv6 subnet from Hetzner.

I have now two servers with Hetzner. Working 100%, everything OK. Both servers has 3 extra IPv4 addresses, and both has three Virtual Machines created with Hyper-V. Both servers are using Windows Server 2012 R2 as OS.

I have one IPv6 /64 subnet to each server. I want to use it, so I can create more VMs, only using IPv6.

My IPv6 settings is: Main IP 2a01:4f8:xxx:xxxx:: /64 Gateway: fe80::1 DNS: ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff::

I have tried following this guide, and have done most of the steps, but it will not work. I have had a friend that uses lots of IPv4 subnets on Hetzner to look at it, but he could not figure it out. So I really hope somebody here has the solution. (if it's at all possible?)

My main server is using a IPv6 address from robot, with their gateway and DNS, and it's online on IPv6 also, and I can connect to the server (etc via RDC just with the IPv6 address).

The issue starts when I try to create the subnet, so VMs can use it.

What we have done so far:

600px-Ip_enable.jpg

600px-Virt_switch.jpg

This one, but of course with IPv6 and not IPv4

Using this: (sorry for the Norwegian text, but you get the picture)

080515ipv6_001.jpg

Then the next step in the guide, here is my setup, all done correct:

080515ipv6_002.jpg

The next step

080515ipv6_007.jpg

Then things starts to be very different from IPv4 and IPv6 setup.

And I can't seem to understand where or what to do with this info:

Hetzner routes the IPv6 subnet on the respective link local address of the server (fe80::/64). Therefore, to be able to use the above mentioned setup for IPv6 for your virtual machines you will need to make the following configuration changes

Give the external interface the first address of the subnet ::1/128, with the gateway fe80::1 Give the virtual switch the second address ::2/64, without a gateway Give the virtual machines the following consecutive IPs and use the IP of the virtual switch as the gateway :):2)
Do anybody here has a better IPv6 subnet guide for Windows Server 2012 R2 and Hyper-V then Hetzner have, or can explain to me what I'm not understanding.
