Don't try and give your client machines [IP] addresses -- make use of the __stateless address auto-configuration__ and just set up zebra or radvd on your gateway. See [Simple IPv6 HOWTO | http://www.wiggy.net/texts/ipv6-howto/] for a quick introduction.

!!! [Linux]

Make sure [IPv6] is either compiled into the [Kernel], or compile it as a module and load it by way of <tt>modprobe ipv6</tt>.

For debugging, you'll want to install <tt>traceroute6</tt> and <tt>ping6</tt>; on [Debian], <tt>apt-get install iputils-tracepath iputils-ping</tt>.

A cheap way of installing [IPv6] under [Linux] is to grab a [6to4 script | http://www.linux.it/~md/6to4], put it in your <tt>/etc/init.d</tt> directory, and set it to run on boot.  That's it, you're done.  (See [6to4] for a more involved explaination as to what this script does.)

If you want a statically assigned address, you'll probably need to use a tunnel broker.

* [http://www.freenet6.net] is one of the most common tunnel providers, For [Debian], issue <tt>apt-get install freenet6</tt>
* [http://broker.aarnet.net.au] in Australia and maybe in NewZealand too
* [http://tunnelbroker.ipv6.net.au] or [http://broker.ipv6.co.nz] (a local tunnel broker being tested at the moment).
* [Hurricane Electric | http://www.tunnelbroker.org] was recommended by Andy Linton during his talk on the [APE]-[WIX] [IPv6] testbed.

!!! [Windows] XP

Start up a command prompt and type <tt>ipv6 install</tt>

!!! [Windows] 2000

The following page may be of some assistance: [Microsoft IPv6 Technology Preview for Windows 2000 | http://msdn.microsoft.com/downloads/sdks/platform/tpipv6/readme.asp]

!!! [FreeBSD]

GENERIC supports it by default, but otherwise compile support into your kernel with the following options

<pre>
options         INET6
device          gif                     # IPv6 and IPv4 tunneling
device          faith                   # for [IPv6] and [IPv4] translation
device          stf                     # 6to4 IPv6 over IPv4 encapsulation
</pre>
