note that ip version 6 of the teredo interface changed . why this happening ? and how to solve this ? ( I'm behind a NAT if this make any difference )

thanks

UPDATE :

I believe my ip address and port number is not changing , the things that changes is the state of teredo ... I noticed that teredo interface ip number not changing directly , but it's state moving to disabled ( or offline or whatever state) then it restart with new IP address ... is this the default behavior or something wrong (in the RFC nothing mentioned about that)

this is ipconfig /all command output that show the state of the teredo before the IP get changed :

nat ipv6 teredo

    Teredo is a protocol that tunnels IPv6 traffic via UDP on IPv4 to a Teredo server, which then routes the IPv6 traffic onward to the Internet, or back toward you.

    The Teredo IPv6 address you receive encodes the IPv4 address of the Teredo server and UDP port for your particular tunnel connection. If the tunnel disconnects and reconnects, these may change.

    For instance, in the first case, your Teredo address encodes a Teredo server IPv4 address of 65.55.158.116 and UDP port 59132. In the second case, the IPv4 address is the same but the UDP port is 60204. So, we can tell that your tunnel disconnected and reconnected at least once.

    Teredo also encodes the IPv4 RFC1918 address of the local machine, which in your case is 192.168.8.102.

    All of these are necessary in order for the Teredo protocol to route packets correctly through your NAT.

    In addition, the random address flags are set on each address, causing the IP address to have any of 4,096 possible values per Teredo server/UDP port combination. This provides a measure of resistance against IPv6 address scanning, which otherwise would be trivial for Teredo connections.

    Teredo is fully explained in RFC 5991, the random flags in section 3.1, and security considerations in section 4.
