Dear Richard,

Mine too.

My phone can also be dual stack (it shows both the IPv4 and the IPv6 addresses in the network properties, and the IPv6 address is the correct public address from my home WiFi network), but http://test-ipv6.com/ in the Chrome browser shows that IPv6 is not available. Sometimes it shows that IPv6 is available but is not preferred.

Any ideas would be appreciated.
