Yes to both counts.  I know I have to open access to incoming traffic on my
router, before the outside world can see IPv6 hosts on my LAN, as it defaults
to blocking all incoming IPv6 traffic (which is how it should be).  And Windows
Firewall can catch you off guard when you least expect it.  It usually tries to
help you, but it's also possible to miss the dialog that pops up, and
occasionally, it doesn't pop up at all.
