It's a shame that M$ are providing NAT, which even they know
is a bad technology (it was a M$ employee that wrote the IETF
case against NAT), and not IPv6.  Please don't lose focus!  NAT
is a short-term ugly broken hack, push your vendor(s) for IPv6
support!

If you're using, or worse, planning to use, NAT and you haven't 
read the above two documents, read them :)
