Thanks! But..

1) How? What does the IPv6 version of my IPv4 local addresses look
   like?
2) Isn't this a rather doubtful feature? And shouldn't the upgrade
   process have taken care of this automatically? In order to
   prevent other na�ve users, like me, from causing "LAN leakage"
   as a result of this feature?
