AAAA-records but no IPv6-connectivity

[Boudewijn Dijkstra]

With IPv6 enabled in WinXP, the Opera webbrowser seems to look for an
AAAA-record of the requested site, and subsequently tries to connect to
the IPv6 address. In many environments, any IPv6-packets are dropped
before they reach an IPv6 router. Other browsers like IE and FF detect
this and use the A-record instead. But in Opera this causes messages
like: "connection aborted by server".

Can anybody connect to these websites using Opera?:

http://www.freenet6.net/
http://www.sixxs.net/
http://www.tunnelbroker.net/
http://ipv6.google.com/

If you anwered "yes" to the last site, then you have IPv6-connectivity.
