You can test your IPv6 connectivity by going to <a href="http://secdns2.posix.co.za" target="_blank">secdns2.posix.co.za</a> (a<br>
secondary site I have in London). You'll see your IP address and either<br>
a boring, static Tux [IPv4] or a Joyful, Dancing Tux [IPv6] - concept<br>
inspired by the kame project.<br>
