   It says it supports IPv6, so one ay assume that it does.   
      
    AI> It calls out using IPv6 if it can find a host and IPv4 if not.   
      
   Can you try to poll my system?

   Asll decent routers that support IPv6 have a firewall that blocks unsollicited   
   incoming IPv4 packets. With IPv4 yoi have to explicitly tel the router where   
   to send in incoming packet. (By adding it to the NAT table). With IPv6 you do   
   not tell an incoming packet where to go, that info is already in the IPv6   
   address. But you must tell the firewall to let it pass.   
      
   Sometimes this setting is misnamed "port forwarding".   
      
      
   Cheers, Michiel
