I agree with Sean's sentiment, that configuring IP6 can be confusing, because firstly its differnent to IP4, and secondly because to use it you need to configure your side of the router to use it (instead of using what the router uses for IP4 which is normally a 192.168... address from the factory - ie: turn on a use).

Fortunately, many PCs and servers automatically start to use it - its the router part that can be complicated.

Happy to try and help you use it if you want, but might not be worth the effort, if any internet site you visit is not IP6 enabled. Many here in Oz arent, and until they are, there really isnt any reason to change.
