My office has ipv6 connection to internet, while my mac--imac and macbook pro with lion 10.7.4 cannot connect to ipv6 website.
It is very strange because I can connect to ipv6 website in windows and linux, so I think this is the because of the problem of OS X.
Would anyone please help me and tell me how to solve this strange problem?
MacBook Pro (13-inch Early 2011), Mac OS X (10.7.4)
Have you tried System Preferences - Network - choose your connection port (eg Ethernet) and click Advanced, then TCP/IP, and change "Configure IPv6" to "Automatically"? If your router is handing out IPv6 addresses, that's all you should need to do.

Yes, I've tried to do that, and I've already have ipv6 address.
when I run ifconfig, it is like this:
| inet6 fe80::1a03:73ff:feae:202d%en0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x4 |
| inet 159.226.119.13 netmask 0xffffffc0 broadcast 159.226.119.63 |
| inet6 2001:cc0:2022::1a03:73ff:feae:202d prefixlen 64 autoconf |
| inet6 2001:cc0:2022::5080:2184:ac78:758d prefixlen 64 autoconf temporary |
It seems that I have two ipv6 address. When I ping6 ipv6.google.com, it is like:
====================================================================
PING6(56=40+8+8 bytes) 2001:cc0:2022::5080:2184:ac78:758d --> 2404:6800:8005::69

It uses the second ipv6, I don't know if it is this problem?

It's not a problem. The temporary address is always used.
Something else is blocking your path to ipv6.google.com.
The address you got for Google is radically different from what I get for Google.

You may have a DNS Server problem with respect to lookup of IPv6 addresses.
Thanks for your reply.
While I donn't think it is the DNS problem.
When I ping6 2607:f8b0:4002:802::1013
it still does not work:

It is really strange that in Windows and Linux it works fine while in OS X it does not.
IPv6 not working correct
