Thanks! Can you provide some specific model numbers? I'll need a box that can do IPv6 tunneling over IPv4, since none of the ISP's I have access to have native IPv6 or any plans for it in the foreseeable future. Of course, it will also need to be able to do basic stateful fire-wall

I've been noticing the same problem: hangs on IPv6 enabled hosts when doing aptitude updates... The solution is to set the MTU to 1280 as follows: $ sudo ifconfig eth0 mtu 1480 $ wget -6 http://security.debian.org/dists/squeeze/updates/Release --2011-06-01 19:11:12--
