Desktop IPv6 PPPoE Configuration

How can I try the IPv6 Broadband trial without breaking all the other hosts on my network?

If you can enable "PPPoE passthrough" on your ADSL Access Device you may be able to run a PPPoE client from your desktop without affecting the other hosts on your LAN.

Why can’t I get an IPv6 address when using the Mac OSX PPPoE client?

Mac OSX ignores ICMPv6 RAs via PPPoE by default. The OSX kernel is known to panic when an RA is received and "accept_ra" is enabled.

You may be able to configure a third party DHCPv6 client to obtain an address via Prefix Delegation.
