So when a ipv6 query arrives at your local resolver (router) from one of yo= ur=20 LAN machines on the 192.168.0.1 address, the router knows to send it down t= he=20 tunnel to be resolved at the ISP's resolvers? > For Microsoft Windows (at least Windows 7), when it detects IPv6 > advertisement server on the local network, it will use it > automatically.

Well, yes my router is ipv4 only and therefore it would not resolve ipv6=20 addresses. > On my wife's Windows 7 laptop, it just worked perfectly after I > enabled it on my router and her wifi reconnected.
