How to tell if you're using IPv6

Since IPv6 is intended to be transparent to the end user, it is often (occasionally) difficult to determine whether IPv6 is functioning correctly on a given computer or browser. Therefore, as a public service, we are providing this list of webpages that can help you determine whether your browser is capable of accessing IPv6-enabled sites.
