If i remember correctly, FreeBSD uses IPv6 and IPv4 protocol stacks seperately.
even though v6 is enabled by default, it wont use it unless it gets settings
for it. Vista on the otherhand is IPv6 native with technically a backport to
IPv4, so it will try and do network traffic with v6 before v4. Also remember
that Microsoft set their TCP/IP protocol to use a private subnet incase it was
unable to pick up an IP from DHCP (169.254.x.x) and I wouldnt be surprised if
they did the same thing with v6 protocol also. If youre not using v6, you
should remove it or at least disable it on your interfaces.
