Looking at your pcap file, there is no IPv6 to be had what so ever. No 
answer to RS or DHCPv6 SOLICIT. It doesn't get more basic than that.

Yes, your problem has nothing to do with basic IPv6 function. Windows 
Vista on launch day does the same you're doing, but since nothing is 
answering then you get no IPv6. So either your packets aren't making it to 
the Comcast upstream router, or it doesn't do any of the basics.

I thought this would be a PD problem or something, but this is more basic 
than that.
