[AusNOG] Globally Routed IPv6 and Windows Firewall

[jake anderson]

In the "Good news" category fritzbox did a great job with IPv6 both dual 
stack and tunneled as I recall from my time with internode, I don't 
recall exactly but I *believe* the firewall was on by default for IPv6, 
and I needed to do something to allow access through it.
