How do I setup a subnet for use with my home network?

I have deployed a tunnel so that my computer can have IPv6 access. Now I want to let other computer on my network to have IPv6 access. I know that I shouldn't request a tunnel for every computer, so I decided to use a subnet. But I just get confused when I read the guide FAQ:Windows. It only talks about setting up on my computer, not on other computers. So I need help on setting up the whole network.
Details:
Tunnel: 2001:4830:1100:122::2
Subnet: 2001:4830:1159::/48 (I want only 2001:4830:1159:1::/64)
IPv4 Network: 192.168.0.0/16
All computers running Windows XP and 7. Tunneled computer runs Windows 7.
I appreciate any help.

This guide only talks about how to set up on my computer, not other ones. I have no idea about how to set up for all my computers on my network.

Well, as the FAQ states, you just enable IPv6 on the clients, then enable routing on the router, enable radvd or similar and presto, the clients all get IPv6 addresses and it works.

Still doesn't work. However I find out that my router doesn't support IPv6, that makes the entire LAN unsupported!

if you terminated sixxs tunnel somewhere - that somewhere is definitely supporting IPv6 - so just make v6 router from it, forwarding traffic between physical and tunnel interface.

It would be useful if you would explain what router you have and what is the config.
What happens usually is that you get an ipv6 belonging to a 2001:xxxx:xxxx::/64 assigned to you tunnel interface and then another /64 routed to it.
A router by definition has at least 2 network interfaces (1 terminating the tunnel which is a point to point and one multiaccess hopefully an ethernet). You assign an ip of the second /64 to the multiaccess and make sure that IPv6 is considered by THE OTHER COMPUTERS the default router.
Start the ipv6 routing and prefix advertisment processes on the router and finally the ipv6 autoconfig on the computers.
Then ping6 happily.
Obviously how to achieve all of the above depend on what router you have and what OS you run.
