To connect to the IPV6 world from inside a NAT network, you need a machine that is both inside and outside the NAT network, a gateway machine that has an IP4 an external address, even if only a dynamic address. Then all machines on the inside can talk to the outside through that machine, thus they can all receive quasi static IP6 addresses, even though not even the gateway machine possesses a static IP4 address. The question then is when will ISP's feel pressure to provide such a a gateway? --digsig James A.
