So, in essence you're adding a host route towards the address.

This has two problems.  First, as Vista uses privacy addresses 
(randomly generated v6 addresses from the advertised prefixes), those 
don't work as you haven't set up host routes to them.  Second, two 
clients get the same /64 so they can't talk if you don't do bridging 
between different interfaces.

You should get more and your problems get much easier. :-)

I'm not sure if configuring addresses with DHCPv6 (address assignment 
part, not prefix delegation) would help in your case, even if very few 
OSs support it out of the box.  I doubt it.
