hi !
i just setup ipv6 on xp pro (ipv6 install).
i can ping6 any ipv6 adress.
i can resolve ipv6 adresses too.
but i can't browse any ipv6 enabled website.
anyone got a clue ? :)
Thx
 
I don't think IE works on IPv6 yet. You could try Mozilla.
I heard it works. You could use [xxx:xxx:xx::xx] for its
address.

Could you give me some pointers in getting XP to work on
Ipv6? I tried ping XP with ipv6. IT doesn't work.

Here are the details procedures I did.
1) netsh interface ipv6 install
2) netsh interface ipv6 show int (to find interface idx)
3) netsh interface ipv6 add address 4 fec0::3
4) netsh interface ipv6 show address (to make sure)
5) netsh interface ipv6 add route ::/0 4 (to add default
route)
6) ping6 fec0::2 (the other XP)
No response
7) ping6 fec0::4 (another Linux)
Got response

I repeate this on WIN2003. The WIN2003 machine responded.
Any suggestions?
 
IE actually does work over IPv6, but if you don't have a web server
listening on an IPv6 address and that is reachable from your computer
running IPv6, it won't work (and neither will any other browser :)

The reason ping responses to the XP machine don't work is likely because you
installed the Advanced Networking Pack for XP. This shipped after XP SP1
and the original Windows Server 2003 and included a shiny new IPv6 firewall
that is on by default. To allow ICMP echo requests, run the following from
a command line:

netsh firewall set adapter "Adapter's friendly name here" icmp 128=enable

The 128 indicates ICMPv6 message type 128, which corresponds to echo. If
you run:
netsh firewall show adapter "Adapter's friendly name here"

you will get a list of opened ports and allowed ICMP types and their
descriptions.

netsh firewall show adapter

will give you a list of the Adapter friendly names and whether or not IPv6
Filtering is enabled for those adapters. ONLY adapters with IPv6 enabled on
them are shown here.

For more information on the IPv6 Internet Connection Firewall, see:

Hope this helps you out. If you have any other questions, post back in a
reply to this thread, so I won't miss it. Thanks!
