XP Static IP assignment help

Hi folks! BTW thanks for the service, SixXS!
I have been running the IPv6 tunnel successfully for a few weeks now. The tunnel terminates to a Windows 2003 server, and recently I requested a subnet and have one of my XP boxes configured. I'm used to doing everything with static IP addressing, and so naturally I tried to figure out how to do static addressing with IPv6. So far, no luck. I'm sure I'm missing a route addition to the routing table on one of the machines, but I just cannot figure it out at the moment. I am running the "default" settings currently suggested by SixXS, so assume that. Can anyone provide a quick tutorial or suggestion?
Secondly, I'm not understanding why my XP box is receiving two IPv6 addresses from the "tunnel" box. Below is what I show on the XP box:
Addr Type DAD State Valid Life Pref. Life Address
--------- ---------- ------------ ------------ -----------------------------
Temporary Preferred 6d22h22m16s 22h19m29s 2001:4830:164d:44b7:8492:d48:3db
f:c9a
Public Preferred infinite infinite 2001:4830:164d:44b7:21a:92ff:fe8
3:6036
Link Preferred infinite infinite fe80::21a:92ff:fe83:6036
When I connect to a site, it shows the temporary address (:c9a) as the one being used. Is this normal? After a week of reading, I can't find that it is (or isn't). Thanks!

Static addresses should be as simple as:
interface ipv6 add address "Local Network Interface" 2001:db8::1/64
See the MS IPv6 FAQ for more details.
For the '2nd address', see FAQ: My IPv6 is random and changes often. Why?

Thanks - I was using the anycast address in nexthop instead of the link-local address. That fixed it. I appreciate the help!
