I finally succeeded in getting a 6to4 tunnel set up on one of my Linux
boxes.

You do not need an IPv6 address allocated by your ISP as you can set up an
IPv6 address based on your external IPv4 address.

I had no success setting up the tunnel until I used the configurator on
this web site;

http://6to4.version6.net/?lang=en_GB

My Linux box was on a LAN behind NAT on an ADSL router. The tunnel worked
despite a warning on the site that the tunnel would not work on a LAN.

I used the sit0 configuration example on the page as my distribution
creates this interface by default.

This web site will confirm if you are connecting via IPv6;

Well what's out there in IPv6 land? Not much and whats there is often
doesn't work.

Ping6 is useful to test connectivity and dig to see if an IPv6 address is
available. For dig;

dig AAAA $url

If your browser will not load an IPv6 site, placing the IPv6 address is
the address bar enclosed by square brackets sometimes will.
