FYI, questions like this are probably best discussed on the IPv6 users list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). The ipng list is for IETF standards development.
Probably the easiest thing to do in your situation (assuming you're not double NAT'd) would be to replace your existing NAT with a PC that could serve as a combination NAT (for v4 connectivity) and 6to4 router (for v6 connectivity). That would give all the hosts behind this box private IPv4 addresses and global IPv6 addresses. Alternatively, you could do the same except that instead of setting up the PC router as a 6to4 gateway for your site, set up a configured tunnel to a tunnel broker somewhere. This takes a little more effort but doesn't require sending your traffic through a 6to4 relay to reach non-6to4 sites on the 6bone. It's easy to set up a Windows XP box as a 6to4 router, but I believe most other popular OSes have such support now as well. --Brian > -----Original Message----- > From: Rich3800 [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, February 04, 2003 20:37 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Home network configuration > > > Hi, > > We have a small network of 2 PCs, my Linux PC and her Win XP PC, all > connected to the Internet through a SpeedStream DHCP NAT/router and a > cable modem.
