   Hello Alex,   
      
   On Sunday January 21 2018 22:46, you wrote to me:

   Yes, the IPv6 implementation of XP is incomplete (no DHCP6) and it is a bit   
   buggy. It works good enough to run a Fdionet IOv6 node though.   
      
    AS> Win7 will definitely work better with this.   
      
   Perhaps it is time to say goodbye to XP?

   Thanks, The odd thing is that I can connect to my web server locally via IPv6,   
   but the connection via IPv4 seems to be the prefered one. To connect via IPv6   
   I must force an IP6 connection by using a host name without an IPv4 address.   
   Maybe the relay introduces a delay that makes IPv4 preferent on the otherwise   
   fast local connection?   
      
    AS> I see you have native IPv6, too:   
      
   Yes, since mid 2016.   
      
    AS> ipv6.dynamic.ziggo.nl [2001:1c02:1100:d700:f1d0:2:280:5555]   
      
    AS> but your ISP does not seem to assign proper reverse DNS for customers.   
      
   Indeed, that is a bit of a joke. Every IPv6 addres (2001:1c02::/32) of my   
   provider backresolves to ipv6.dynamic.ziggo.nl.   
      
      
   Cheers, Michiel
