   Hello Paul,

   It may be the privacy extensions. Windows has it enabled by default. It means   
   an interface gets at least two public IPv6 addresses. The one is assigned by   
   SLAAC or DHCP6 and it is the one that should be used for incoming connection.   
   The other has its suffix assigned random and it is renewed every 24 hours.   
   That is the one used for outgoing connections.   
      
   Privacy extensions do not make much sense on a fixed connection since the   
   prfix does not change and it makes even less sense if the host accepts   
   incoming connections and advertises it by en entry in the DNS.   
      
   You may want to disable privacy extensions.   
      
   Cheers, Michiel
