indeed. as far as I have heard there is a Vista logo programme for CPE routers that required CPEs to have 6to4 support. if that required the default to be on or not I don't know. if that's the case there should be more CPEs than just Linksys.

Apple Airport's also had 6to4 on by default in a small batch, but that's quite a while ago.

the latest software update should have 6to4 disabled by default.

cheers,
Ole
