Have you seen <http://www-cnr.lbl.gov/6bone/6bone_tools.html> and, in

The tool page calculated it as (using 199.0.193.1/24 as your IPv4 addr):
5F04:D700:00C7:C100:0000:00A0:D102:33FA
Doesn't look like the byte got swapped properly (0xC700.C1 vs 0x00C7.C1).
Maybe I got up on the wrong side of the intel this morning, but I think
your answer is correct.

The subnet field doesn't help too much if you're an A-class either. (:
Just decide which bits represent your subnet.
