No I dont' have a clue.  I am actually greatful you can help me with this.  I just know that the standard exists most OS are ready for it and no one is doing it.  What has to happen?  If someone started implementing an IPV6 network internally can they do mapping to the internet?  I was under the impression ( read ignorance ) that the two protocols where compatible.  Anyway I am just curious.   Hope I am not offending anyone.
