Internet Explorer seems to be behaving correctly.

Went to both addresses, bgpexpert told me I was connected using IPv6 both 
times.

| That can't be right, as this isn't a valid IPv6 address: it has two

Whoops my bad, it is 3ffe:bc0:8000::3c6a

and on another computer in my network it is allocated 
2002:cb79:cc82:7:20b3:d73c:32b1:1318.
Again,this computer will connect to sixxs.net and bgpexpert.com over IPv6 no 
problems.
This computer is also told by Kame.net that it is connecting over IPv4, 
although it can ping6 and tracert6 it no problem.

Is Kame.net giving out the wrong information ? Maybe it is broken somewhere.
