From my PC at home (Cox in Omaha) I can't even get a nameserver that knows the site.
I should point out that I am really stupid about v6--I don't know if I should be able to find a nameserver or not.
Has nothing to do about being stupid... let's rephrase your statement and put a positive spin on it as such:
"I've heard about IPv6, but don't know very much about it. I think that I should know more, but am a bit confused as to where to begin. What do I do first?".
You are too kind. Since I no longer administer a network, I've gotten lazy about keeping up with developments. And that is stupid.
Then I'd say:
"As a start, go to http://www.getipv6.info/index.php/Main_Page . If that doesn't get you going, then let the rest of the community start posting the resources that they know about, ranging from beginner up to the advanced.".
Good and useful advice. But the message I meant to convey at 0300 in a rainy morning when I couldn't sleep was "I don't know if a Windows XP (SP3, current patches) on a Cox Cable connection _should_ be able to connect, but my machine reported that it couldn't even *find* a name-server for the site." -- Somebody should have said: A democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for dinner. Freedom under a constitutional republic is a well armed lamb contesting the vote.
