    AS>> Win7 will definitely work better with this.   
    MvdV> Perhaps it is time to say goodbye to XP?   
      
   Indeed. Win7 is the best choice for now.   
      
    MvdV> Thanks, The odd thing is that I can connect to my web server locally via   
    MvdV> IPv6, but the connection via IPv4 seems to be the prefered one. To   
    MvdV> connect via IPv6 I must force an IP6 connection by using a host name

    MvdV> IPv4 preferent on the otherwise fast local connection?   
      
   No, it's the default "prefer IPv4 over IPv6" in your system or browser   
   settings.   
      
   For Firefox based browsers, check the following about:config settings:   
      
   network.dns.disableIPv6 = false   
   network.http.fast-fallback-to-IPv4 = false (Pale Moon with works for me with   
   true though)   
      
   In case of WinXP, it's forced default behavior of "prefer IPv4" and there is a   
   way to fix it by modifying netsh prefixpolicy as shown here: htt

    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   
    AS>> customers.   
    MvdV> Indeed, that is a bit of a joke. Every IPv6 addres (2001:1c02::/32)   
    MvdV> of my provider backresolves to ipv6.dynamic.ziggo.nl.   
      
   Is it dynamic or static? And if it's static, why your ISP can't provide a   
   proper backresolve by customer request?
