I've not tried HE, but instead I just use miredo.

Ping to my laptop (connected to a wireless router) from my desktop:

$ ping6 2001:0:53aa:64c:<snipped>:359a:ba1b:ae43
PING
2001:0:53aa:64c:<snipped>:359a:ba1b:ae43(2001:0:53aa:64c:3068:359a:ba1b:ae43)

64 bytes from 2001:0:53aa:64c:<snipped>:359a:ba1b:ae43: icmp_seq=3

I can ssh to the same.

And from the laptop back to the desktop:
$ ping6 2001:0:53aa:64c:<snipped>:7d52:ba1b:ae43
PING
2001:0:53aa:64c:<snipped>:7d52:ba1b:ae43(2001:0:53aa:64c:<snipped>:7d52:ba1b:ae43)
56 data bytes

To determine your IPv6 address just use 'ifconfig' & you'll find it in
the 'teredo' section:

teredo    Link encap:UNSPEC  HWaddr
00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00
          inet6 addr: 2001:0:53aa:64c:<snipped>:359a:ba1b:ae43/32
Scope:Global
          inet6 addr: fe80::ffff:ffff:ffff/64 Scope:Link
          UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST  MTU:1280  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:3 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:500
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 B)  TX bytes:144 (144.0 B)

Ping to facebook (note the interesting IPv6 address):
$ host www.v6.facebook.com
www.v6.facebook.com has IPv6 address 2620:0:1cfe:face:b00c::3

$ ping6 www.v6.facebook.com
PING www.v6.facebook.com(www.v6.facebook.com) 56 data bytes
64 bytes from www.v6.facebook.com: icmp_seq=1 ttl=56 time=374 ms
64 bytes from www.v6.facebook.com: icmp_seq=2 ttl=56 time=14.5 ms

So, my question would be whether you need HE, or will miredo do what you
need it to do? Simple setup:
$ sudo aptitude install miredo

Conclusion

You should now be able to ping and surf IPv6 enabled sites like
ipv6.google.com or www.kame.net. For a ping perform ping6
ipv6.google.com. It's a good idea to think about firewalling within your
clients, because all clients have now a public reachable IPv6 IP. In
Ubuntu this is also an very easy task with the new UbuntuFirewall (ufw
or uncomplicated firewall), just edit /etc/default/ufw and set IPV6=yes
to get started.
