No easy way to use Sixxs on Windows and Mac OS?

Hi there, I set up tunnels (AICCU) on Linux and an Astaro system. It works like a charm. The I tried to set up a tunnel on Windows XP, Vista and 7. Now I have a MacBook Pro and looked for a HowTo to set up a tunnel. In fact it seems you need to compile this, edit that script, copy here, do there. It everything except easy. Am I just too silly to point myself to the right HowTos or is it a fact that currently the only people who can switch to IPv6 with the help of SixXS are computer guys? Well, I have really good skills with computers but I think of spreading the word but until I cannot tell my wife to just install e.g. aiccu.exe we will get stuck on the experts who are willing to do much more than the average user. Am I right? Is there something underway to solve this situation? best regards Rolf

I don't know about the OSx client, but the client for windows is just an installer that you install and run. There is a configuration file that you need to fill out, but that's just a one time thing

Hmm, obviously got the wrong FAQ. I will try again with Windows. :)

I had no particular difficulty with AICCU on Vista/32 bit, but as far as I know it still can't route to other machines on the network (some Windows quirk). Whereas on Ubuntu with radvd it autoconfigures all the Windows machines for ipv6 access, wireless and wired, using an old ipv4 router (the ipv6 packets are still routed at the ethernet level).

I think it's an AICCU bug, IIRC. I'm running RA on my ASA 5520 and all of my Windows OS's have the correct IP and routing information, and are able to talk among themselves.
