Generally if you want to run IPv6 over IPv4, you can use a tunneling mechanism such as 6to4. They are all described in detail in my book "IPv6 Essentials," published by O'Reilly.

If you are looking for information on how to configure IPv6 on different operating systems, I can recommend the book "IPv6 Network Administration," written by Niall Richard Murphy and David Malone, also from O'Reilly.
