Well it should be, but it's not. I can ping (your|their) router, but not your |
| 27 |
server. You might try a traceroute6 to see where the problem might be. If you |
| 28 |
still need help try #IPv6 on irc.freenode.net. Or if your ISP provides |
| 29 |
support for IPv6 talk to them. |

Windows (XP) has IPv6 disabled by default. Users would need to configure it. |
| 39 |
On Linux if an IPv6 router advertises itself configuration is often |
| 40 |
automatic. But once users have an IPv6 connection your site should be |
| 41 |
accessible (assuming you get your connection up). |
