According to Comcast=92s DOCSIS Devices page, =
http://mydeviceinfo.comcast.net/?s=3Di&so=3D1&e=3D0&d3=3D1&tier=3D-1&sc=3D=
84, the Cisco DPC3008 is not supported for IPv6. You could always try =
enabling IPv6 on a system directly connected to the Cisco and see what =
happens. I=92m not optimistic.=20
I opted for my minimal-effort solution. I installed a Motorola SB6121 =
and a 5th gen Airport Extreme and turned them on. Of course I configured =
the Airport Extreme with a name, management password, and confirmed IPv6 =
was set to to configure Automatically and Native. When the Comcast drop =
was plugged in and Comcast authorized the modem, I had a multistacked =
LAN.=20
Going on 11 months of IPv4/IPv6 service. I=92ve had about 1 hour of =
downtime.
