The early routers often had no firewall for IPv6 at all, but those should be history by now. Everything less tham five years old should have a firewall that blocks all incoming IPv6 by default.

I have yet to come across a router with an IPv6 firewall that does not have an option to selectively open ports for incoming. It may be a bit hard to find though because indeed it often is maisnamed "port forwarding" and sometimes combined with the IPv4 port forwarding and sometimes it is in a completey different menu.
Andrew has native IPv6 from Comcast, just like Michael Pierce, so they may have the same or a similar router. Andrew is the right one to provide the helping hand...
Mischael said he was connected to this echo, but I do not see him yet. There may be broken links...
