I looked it up on the atlas.ripe.net site.  Besides the being a note about lacking a USB stick (wasn’t aware of that), I see that the host had a IPv6 address until July and since then a series of IPv4 addresses.  I can’t recall a major network event around then (the probe was offline 18 1/2 hours.

Is there a reason I don’t have a v6 address now?  Should I have one (as in, is something wrong to make it fail back to v4)?

I did have a network overhaul in September (off line for 15h 20m).  I had to “fix” IPv6 in the house then but got it working with the new CPE device.  Checking, when I go to ripe.net’s webpage, it shows me coming over IPv6.

FWIW, my house is a simple cable-company-as-ISP home set up, consumer-grade v4 and v6.  (I try to leave work at work, if you know what I mean.)

…meanwhile, I’m going to see if there is a USB stick in the house.   (Maybe it’s near the book of postage stamps, DVD’s, and cassette tapes.)
