I knew from the start that Win XP's IPv6 implementation was only partial, but I was under the impression that it would be good enough for me, especially since all the IPv6 tests I ran, indicated no problems.
It would seem that the tests are too limited. test-ipv6.com gives me 10/10. Nice but it just tests what a client only user would need.
There is another test: ipv6-test.com. That one tests a few things that you need when you run servers too. It reports that it can not ping my XP machines connected via the he.net tunnel. My guess is that this is a problem with the XIn XP firewall.
Then again it also reports there is no reverse DNS for my IPv6 address. And that is too strict. Of course there is not, I have privicay extensions emabled foroboth my XP and Win9 machines. So the test just sees the temporary IPv6 address, not the address that is in the DNS zone files...

As it should...

The Linux crowd always walked ahead...
