I tend to use auto assignment for workstations and manual static IPs for
servers (including the BBS).  If you go with manual assignment, there's a
zillion ways it can be done, including encoding your Fidonet node number into
the host part! :)

Always good to check firewalling.  My router, by default, blocks all incoming
IPv6 traffic, but I can choose to either open sprcific TCP/UDP ports or expose
a host to the Internet completely.  The nomenclature is totally wrong (it's
called "port forwarding" in the web interface, but is actually a packet
filter), but it works. :)
