I dont know how to assign the IPv6 address to a specific computer in the
system.  Unlike the IPv4 setup in the router, there is nothing like that in the
v6 setup.  I also have no idea how to do so on the computer itself.  There was
a time I could assign a permananent IP in the networking setup, but I dont know
if the same can be done with the IPv6.

I just did an Ipconfig on the bbs system and here is what I got.

Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:

   Connection-specific DNS Suffix  . :
   IPv6 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 2607:f2c0:a000:54::103
