Yes, I get a Open DSN search when I use that or a 'Can't find webpage' when I use ISP's DNS.

In case anyone can't load the IPv6 address, it just shows this image: http://cdn.ebaumsworld.com/picture/Napster251/vend-a...

But I'm not sure as to the point of the thread either.

@All
Maybe it's because I have IE10, Win 8, or that I have both? All three links give results indicating that entering a IPv6 address in the URL bar works.

The first is such a link, including the square brackets. The page reached is a picture.

The other two are both IPv6 testers and both reply with a page that includes my IPv6 address and says I should have no problem accessing IPv6 sites.

However this is only possible from PlusNet if the IPv6 address is entered in the URL bar. Domain names for IPv6-only sites are not resolved by the PlusNet DNS servers.

[re: Oliver341] [link to this post] 		 
Yes, that's the picture.

The point of the thread is that given the IPv6 address, it is possible to reach the target site even though PlusNet have supposedly not enabled IPv6.

If people on other ISPs are not getting anywhere with my first link, and the other two do not indicate IPv6 sort of capability, the thread was deliberately posted in the PlusNet forum, not in General Chatter, so it wouldn't be too surprising.

[re: RobertoS] [link to this post] 		 
Not sure how things are handled on Plusnet, but I use Teredo on Windows 7 to access IPv6 only sites.

So it's possible you are just seeing Windows automatic IPv6 tunneling in action (it's activated by default, have a look at "ipconfig /all").

Here's Teredo in action. At the moment it's automatically picked a he.net relay, but it often picks a bit.nl relay too:
