I use qemu with a bridge created with the script here
(http://wiki.qemu.org/Documentation/Networking/NAT#Script) which
creates a bridge and nat the network with dnsmasq. Very nifty script.
So there is no doubt that the machines are behind a NAT and see each
other, because they are under the same bridged network (br0).

Maybe this is the cause. I didn't enable ipv6 manually because none of
my network are ipv6, all ipv4 (both private and public).

Is it mandatory to have ipv6 enabled?
