Where is your DNS hosted for the BBS's domain name? Unless your DNS hosting is ancient, it should be a simple matter of adding an AAAA record. I'm at a loss as to where the problem is.

Interesting. My router came with the firewall turned on by default (which I believe to be a better option). I can choose to either allow specific TCP or UDP ports to a host (which I did for this Windows box, to allow testing of the Mystic 2 demo's IPv6 support), or I can disable the firewall for a specific host (which a couple of the Linux boxes have set).
