Setting up an IPv6 tunnel (was: Re: static IP & DHCP problems on LAN)

You mean the standard details any ISP asks for when you signup?
(Name, address, email, phone) I wonder what is heaps about that.

Note that an IPv6 tunnel is just another form of "getting Internet",
this time you are not getting IPv4 over DSL/Cable/3G/etc but IPv6 over a
tunnel that goes over IPv4.

It depends on what tunnel type you want.

They all (proto-41,heartbeat,AYIYA) can be setup very simply with AICCU,
but for proto-41 tunnels you can also do it manually or even with
/etc/network/interfaces.

What is 'complicated' about this? Please provide details so that these
problems can be clarified and improved for the general populace.

Ah, you have not tried it, then your comment makes more sense ;)
