OK, then I won't worry about them!

Ah, that makes sense.  I do indeed have the link-local address as you 
surmised.

OK, then off to plan B - let's see if I can get a tunnel broker to work 
with my dynamic IP address.  (Fixed/Static IP not available here in the 
Philippines for residential service, as far as I can tell.)  (If that 
doesn't work, I'll just disable IPv6...)

Anyone got suggestions for a simple tunnel set-up?
