it's J_e_roen mind you ;)

Whoops , Hi Jeroen , thanks for the swift reply.
And apologies everyone for another long mail - and for getting off track re
subject line.
(I do intend to use it honest)

<SNIP>

MS Autoconfig knows about RFC1918 (private address space, see:
eg http://1918.rfc.wiretrip.org or type rfc1918 in google) and
thus should not use that space for 6to4 tunnels. Also note that
you are quite probably running ICS on your machine, at least
that is what the "Network Bridge (Network Bridge)" could indicate.
But indeed it's your own LAN and not the public Inet.

Thanks for that, yes I have ICS , will have a router in May which will make
things easier.
(Recommendations anyone on what Router to get?)

Thanks for the reminder.

On the internet nobody is anonymous, or some other movie quote ;)

Your right there, incidentally I received a reply from Telstra research and
'Geoff Huston' is on the case apparently. No more details so need to track
him down.

See further down for traceroutes on the 3 sixxs website addys you gave me.

That's not visible in your config output.

I don't want the job doing for me, but where do I look to rectify wrong
configuration(s)

That's a good idea, maybe I need to look at the ipv6-au forum.
Who else is here from AU , maybe a dedicated list is needed to help
persuasion techniques.?
Anyone want a list compiling or is there one already.?


http://www.sixxs.net is IPv4 and IPv6 reachable.
http://www.ipv4.sixxs.net is IPv4 only (as it got only a A address :)
http://www.ipv6.sixxs.net is IPv6 only (as it got only a AAAA address :)

Ok tracert6 on sixxs.net fails miserably at the first hop as does
ipv6.sixxs.net , what am I missing?

haven't done a damn thing!

Good to know, I got more info from http://www.isi.edu/~bmanning/v6DNS.html

Thanks for your time Jéroen :0))
