So for starters, I wanted to document my testing to show that IPv6 does work for me, when I connect my desktop directly to my cable modem.

For these tests, I connected my desktop directly to my cable modem, after doing a reset on both (desktop was powered off, cable modem was reset using the little pin hole in the back).

Once that was complete, I ran an "ipconfig/all". Those results are below

Next, I ran the following command: "netsh int ipv6 show addr". I did this just to verify the information I was seeing from the ipconfig command.

So far, things were looking good.

Then, using Waterfox I went to the following three web pages

• »test-ipv6.com/
• »test-ipv6.comcast.net/
• »ipv6.speedtest.comcast.net/

The results of these are shown above as Picture #1, #2, and #3, respectively.

As a final verification, I ran some more tests from the command prompt.

And then finally, a few trace commands. I did mix both IPv4 and IPv6 sites in this, just to be complete.

So, my final observation here is that IPv6 is working (as best as I can tell) exactly the way it should be when I am directly connected to my cable modem.
