But this is a Linux List, I'd better switch to Windows then (If I want
somthing that appently "Just Works (TM)"). (Not that I suspect that
would help in this case :)) (Linux had IPv6 10 years before Windows
even thought about it.

All I want is a simple howto.

As far as I know most of my machine are IP6 enabled but nothing
supplies services and address for IPv6 so nothing uses it.
