Sorry that should have been:-
$ ping6 2404:6800:4006:803::100e

(sleep-posting)

I'm not sure I properly understand what your setup.
I 'think' you have an IPV4 connection to a modem (that only supports
IPV4) which you've bridged to your server which is running a dualstack,
and which provides IPV6 to your LAN.

Where are you testing - the server or LAN clients?
How are you resolving DNS?

Are you running a stock /etc/hosts on the server?
eg.:-

127.0.0.1	localhost
ipv4 address	$hostname

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1     ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts


Is the somewhat dated info at http://wiki.debian.org/DebianIPv6 any help?
