I have a remote Arch Linux server which has IPv6 enabled (through Tunnelbroker, I am able to do ping6 ipv6.google.com successfully) and I want to know if it's possible to use PuTTY on my Windows 7 machine to SSH tunnel to the Linux server and get IPv6 enabled pages to load in Google Chrome.

I think the ipv6-to-ipv4 gateway at sixxs.org is an easier way and I think putty works. – billc.cn Feb 6 at 10:37

This should be possible.

There are many articles as regarding setting up SSH between Windows and Linux.
Some that were picked at random:

Configure OpenSSH To Listen On an IPv6 Address
how to ssh to a ipv6 ubuntu in a LAN

Specific PuTTY Configuration issues are detailed in The SSH panel of the manual.

Yeah, PuTTY worked. I guess it was some issue with the program, or I had to reboot to make sure all the network configurations were implemented. Regardless, I am able to now access IPv6 websites and other IPv6 content. – zzatkin Feb 14 at 22:26

The network devices in route to Arch linux must support. Can you ping -6 "your arch linux hostname" from your windows box. If it returns then putty should not have any problem in connecting to linux host.
