| Looking at your data you have Windows XP

Yes, XP Pro with SP1 etc and latest stack.

| Only IPv4 on your ADSL (at least PPPoE should be ADSL)

Yes ADSL, Telstra - Australias' biggest phone & internet provider give no
information on any of their sites regarding IPv6. I have emailed their
research dep't but don't think they know any more than I do.

| A private network with 6to4 addresses in RFC1918 space, these won't ever
| work.

I can not find anything on RFC 1918 on the IETF site?
However to me it does look like I'm trying to tunnel 6 through 4 on my own
LAN?
I did not configure this however, either M$ autoconfig did this or it was
TILAB's tunnel software.
I can not work out which.

| This _could_ work, it does use your public IPv4 of your PPPoE adapter.

How did you work this out. I thought part of the address was obtained from
the MAC layer?

|
| Based on the fact which outgoing interface your host picks it should
| work.
| Try some tracerouting and stuff, pings and the like and find out ;)

Ok, I did that, and get a 242ms round trip average from
ipv6.research.microsoft.com.
I also get the brief message from the IPv6 only website, so that one works.
I have tried others without luck.

|
| Also when one installs the ThreeDegrees software, and thus the P2P SDK
| you get a newer IPv6 stack which supports Teredo.
|
| IMHO (<-- watch those four letters ;) a configured tunnels is better.
| Especially while debugging and based on latency times. So you would
| prolly
| be better off getting a tunnel.

I thought I had a tunnel? Using TILAB's client software I have an address
registrered until 2008.

Then again checking your IPv4 address
| you are located in Australia, thus, mail progsoc@<lemme think>,
| check their whois:
| http://www.cs-ipv6.lancs.ac.uk/ipv6/6Bone/Whois/PROGSOC.html

I can not ping6  their (PROGSOC) website :0(.
So they get their access from TRUMPET.
I have emailed Peter Tattum several times (over time) with no reply. (I know
he's a busy man, in which case the alternative email addys provided on the
site should have someone available for a reply also!)

|
| BTW, checking:
|  http://www.sixxs.net/tools/grh/lg/?prefix=2002::/16&matchtype=more
| I see quite a lot of more specifics for the 6to4 space. Though private
| peerings are allowed there ofcourse, they should never pop up in the
| dfz.

Oh well, another site I can't get on :0(.
I wonder if I have some kind of DNS resolver error? Will check it out.

Speaking of which , is there a native IPv6 DNS root server yet?
