Thanks, I'll read it but probably won't understand most of it. I'm not a "networking expert". ;-) I use a DLink DI-704 and NEVER have to even touch it, it's totally transparent. I set it up once about 4-5 years ago and that was it.
They have an emulator here: http://support.dlink.com/techtool/DI704/Emulator/IndexLogon.htm and I didn't see anything about NAT while I was logged in to mine. I searched the manual...... ftp://ftp.dlink.com/Gateway/di704/Manual/di704_manual_082201.pdf for "NAT" and this is what I found: ---------------------- "The DI-704's NAT firewall filters out unrecognized packets to protect your Intranet, so all hosts behind the DI-704 are invisible to the outside world. If you wish, you can make some of them accessible by enabling the Virtual Server Mapping." "Some applications require multiple connections, like Internet games, Video conferencing, Internet telephony and so on. Due to the firewall function, these applications can not work with a pure NAT router. 'Special Applications' area enables some of these applications to work with a NAT router. If Special Applications is still insufficient to allow an application to function correctly, try DMZ host in the 'Misc Items' options. 1. Trigger: the outbound port number the application issued first. 2. Incoming Ports: when the trigger packet is detected, the inbound packets to the specified port numbers are allowed to pass the firewall. The DI-704 provides some predefined settings in the gray pad on the bottom of the web page. Choose the Popular application and click Copy to copy the predefined setting. Note! At any time, only one PC can use each Special Application tunnel." --------------------- I don't know if it's IPV6 friendly. -Clint God Bless Clint Hamilton, Owner http://OrpheusComputing.com ) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Peter Kaulback" Clint, this might be of interest to you http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/winxppro/maintain/teredo.mspx Or it might not, I know one area of the planet that is very IPV6 friendly is Asia and Europe also is picking up speed, and both are over and above the level of North America with deployments. Do you also have a router with NAT running? Is it IPV6 friendly too? Keep us updated on this development please.

All it states is "The IPv6 Internet Connection >Firewall service was unable to find support for IPv6. This >may indicate that the IPv6 protocol suite is not installed >or it failed to start.
