I beleive the problem is usually that the firewall (deliberatly or not)
blocks ipv6 packets. If you have any kind of firewall that blocks
everything except stuff you know about, it's possible to be blocking
ipv6 without knowing it.

Here has some details:

You have to add a rule to you ipv4 firewall to allow ipv6 packets to
even be considered.

Have a nice day,
