Well these are two separate issues.
said by quesix:Windows XP machine on Hughes Net Gen4 (IPv6 unable to install on the xp machine due to unknown issue) getting CGN and transparent "accelerator" proxy server (no proxy in IE settings) that trys to serve up an IPv6 website, of course it fails...
"of course it fails..." No, that does not make any sense. Sounds like your ISP is completely and utterly incompetent. So they've upgraded a transparent proxy to something relatively new that understands IPv6 but doesn't have IPv6 configured on the system... I don't buy it that they're that incompetent. With how many major sites now have IPv6 access there is no way you could not notice such major breakage with their system if that were the case.
said by quesix:EDIT: and why call it carrier GRADE NAT, it's just plain old NAT...it's not special in any way, other than LACK of access to rules....
It is when your NAT device can handle millions if not tens of millions of sessions. That's the whole point of the name.
said by quesix:P.S. NO ISP should be allowed to do CGN without IPv6 Dual Stack supported.
The two are not mutually exclusive. Although I agree with you there are plenty of ISPs that will.
