I've been fighting (once every couple of months) with DirectAccess
over IPv6 addresses handed out by home routers.

Some staff (mostly Comcast and ATT customers) are getting the
addresses, along with an IPv4 address, and when that happens, it's
very hit or miss whether the computer at home will connect via
DirectAccess.

Fortunately, we have a backup SSL VPN unit, so folks can use that as
an alternative, but it's not really satisfactory to staff to have to
figure out that DirectAccess isn't working and then switch to the SSL
VPN.

I've googled off and on for a long time (months!), and posted in the
appropriate forum on Technet, with no particular resolution.

I don't experience it, because Frontier FIOS isn't handing me an IPv6
address, so I can't replicate it directly, and when I get a call from
someone who's suffering, they generally don't want to take the time to
do the extensive troubleshooting required

Frustrating...

Any thoughts welcome.

Kurt
