Hi Russell,

I don't think comcast is doing any kind of 6to4 tunnels any more.  In
addition, for that to work, you need systems configured specifically
for that (they can't just push it down via DHCPv6 or anything).  Do
you have an Apple router?  Either that or your Mac may be falling back
to 6to4 automatically once router discovery fails, which may explain
that.  I know Apple has been pretty aggressive about adding support
for that kind of thing.
