Most likely, differences of available DNS.  The default recursive
nameserver you're using at home is IPv6-compatible.  The default
recursive nameserver you're using at Cafe Enchante is not.

This discussion has come up on sf-lug before, most recently in April.

As always, I'm obliged to ask:  Why not just run a local recursive DNS
nameserver, and use it?  It's not like it's difficult.
