Hi Michael, if your machines in your network get addresses (or better both of them get an address) the addressing part should be fine - or let's at least assume so for now.
The next question is if you have a firewall running on your IPv6 router that blocks traffic or if you use personal firewalls on your hosts that block the traffic for some reason. You might want to check that. So, can you ping your IPv6 router from your XP and Linux hosts? Can you traceroute www.kame.net from your hosts and see where the packets are dropped? It might be also like Fredrik Tolf suggested that you have not actually allowed packet forwarding in your router and it just advertises a previx, but does not actually route it. As you seem to have a router that advertises a prefix to your network, and your hosts seem to get an address you don't actually need to use any transition mechanisms (i.e. tunneling) from your hosts. Cheers, Jonne.
