Hi,
I have set up my own IPv6 lab with XP and Vista machines. I
could ping an XP machine with its IPv6 address from other machines ,
but I couldnt access the shared folders of the XP machine with its
IPv6 address .It says " Network Path Not Found " Can any one help me
out in this....

Thanks in advance

XP does not support File+Print sharing over IPv6.
The File+Print sharing components are not IPv6 enabled.

In fact, not much in XP is.
The web browser can access IPv6 sites, and the DNS resolver can resolve AAAA
records but that's about it.

Thanks For the reply....

IS the above limitation only fro XP to XP or even from VIsta to XP.
For eg : Say i had shared folder on XP , So cant i even access it from
VISTA using the IPv6 address of XP.

XP does not share it's files over IPv6, end of story.
So no matter what OS you try to connect from, it won't work.

Also, XP can't read shared folders on another computer ( eg vista ) over
IPv6.
