Thanks for the reply. I'll start at ground zero, as when I begin changing things I just get in deeper. :-)
I've had no problem since the beginning of doing ping6 at the router command line and having it work. # ping6 yahoo.com ping6: Warning: yahoo.com has multiple addresses; using 2001:4998:58:c02::a9 PING yahoo.com (2001:4998:58:c02::a9): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 2001:4998:58:c02::a9: icmp_seq=0 hlim=50 time=66.158 ms 64 bytes from 2001:4998:58:c02::a9: icmp_seq=1 hlim=50 time=54.363 ms 64 bytes from 2001:4998:58:c02::a9: icmp_seq=2 hlim=50 time=54.686 ms 64 bytes from 2001:4998:58:c02::a9: icmp_seq=3 hlim=50 time=54.165 ms ^C --- yahoo.com ping statistics --- 4 packets transmitted, 4 packets received, 0.0% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max/std-dev = 54.165/57.343/66.158/5.093 ms # I'm just getting nowhere being able to get an IPv6 address to Windows 7 based computers on my LAN.
