AAAA-records but no IPv6-connectivity

AAAA-records but no IPv6-connectivity
Mon, 14 Apr 2008 12:25:50 +020
With IPv6 enabled in WinXP, the Opera webbrowser seems to look for an  
AAAA-record of the requested site, and subsequently tries to connect to  
the IPv6 address.  In many environments, any IPv6-packets are dropped  
before they reach an IPv6 router.  Other browsers like IE and FF detect  
this and use the A-record instead.  But in Opera this causes messages  
like: "connection aborted by server".

Can anybody connect to these websites using Opera?:
http://www.civil-tongue.net/
http://www.freenet6.net/
http://www.sixxs.net/
http://www.tunnelbroker.net/
http://ipv6.google.com/

If you anwered "yes" to the last site, then you have
IPv6-connectivity.
