   I would like to setup a local lan with IPv6 but I'm not sure on what
   would be a valid non routable IPv6 IP network address.  Like 192.168.x.x
   is for IPv4.  Can someone please help me?

=> you can use link-local or site-local addresses. Link-local addresses
(which are mandatory) are exactly you want but site-local addresses have
a larger scope (:-): they are routable in your site (ie. you can have
more than one LAN) but not on the Internet, you should need them for
the next step.
