Not great results on an IPv6 test - any ideas?

I can get to IPv6 only pages, and see that the community site and www.plus.net have IPv6 and IPv4 addresses, but running the test at http://test-ipv6.com/ gives me this:

That's not one of our IPv6 addresses Chris. It should start 2a02:16c8. Looks like you've set up a 6 to 4 tunnel. I didn't really have much chance to look at the settings on the router I gave you so not sure what options you have but it should be able choose DHCPv6. There's some screenshots from my Zyxel config in Bob's thread.

And now that router has frozen 😕
I'll try factory resetting and giving it another go tomorrow, I think we need to figure out the settings first this time!

I had exactly the same problem when I switched my router config from HE to PN.  Windows continued to see both sets of IPV6 addresses so I disabled IPV6 on Windows then turned it back on so Windows picked up the correct address from my router and dropped the HE one.
