I was just trying out IPv6 on Thursday with Tiger (10.4.11)...
Some notes:
* You have to manually configure the DNS server IPv6 address (MacOS doesn't
support
DHCPv6 or RFC 5006).
* You have to turn off the MacOS firewall (it blocks incoming IPv6 port 53
by default
and there's no way to change that from the firewall GUI that I could
discover).
* Firefox and Camino require a special non-default setting to work with
IPv6. Go to
"about:config". Safari works by default.
I also got Jabber (Adium) working (you need an account on a v6 enabled
server).
I didn't try SSH, however.

Hi,
I currently trying to test an IPv6 setup and some of the problems I am
having suggest that MacOS X may be blocking incoming IPv6 requests.
The setup involves two computers on the same network, behind a DSL router
with NAT.
PowerMac G4, connected to IPv6 network using Aiccu (sixxs.net)
MacBook Pro, connected to IPv6 network using Miredo
Also tried:
PowerMac G4, connected to IPv6 network using Miredo
MacBook Pro, connected to IPv6 network using Miredo
With each computer I am able to connect to the following IPv6 addresses:
http://www.kame.net/
http://ipv6.google.com/
Both computers have a web server running and ssh access, yet neither is
able to ssh or open a connection to the other, yet they are able to
connect to themselves using the same IPv6 address.
Is there something that I might be missing? I am going to continue to see
if I can find anything document else where, but if someone already knows
something I don't I would appreciate the insight. This is proving to be a
little problematic to see if my applications are handling IPv6 properly.
