Congratulations, welcome to the Fiofonet IPv6 club.

Just a few points.

Having two different host names for IPv4 and IPv6 is undesirable. Just add both the A an the AAAA record to fido.livewirebbs.com and callers will sort out automatically if they should use IPv4 or IPv6.

I still would like to see the result of your ipconfig. I wonder why you need to set the address to dynamic. You may be using PE (Privacy Extension) address for the AAAA record. That is wrong. In a windopws environmemt with PE enabled, the address used for outgoing changes every 24 hour or so. What should be in the AAAA record is the SLAAC address. A SLAAC address is derived from the MAC address and it is recognisable by the ff fe in between.

Cheers, Michiel
