Re: Implementation of Ipv6 in winxp

["Sukhdeep Johar" <jsukhdeep@novell.com>]

1. ARe you using the link-local addresses [fe80::xxxx] ? 
In that case, u need the scope , even on the same lan.

2. I understand that the default IE in xp cannot use
literal ipv6 addresses. You need to map it in the hosts
file. You can then access using the dns name in ur browser. 

HTH

Hello All,

I have IPv6 enabled on my winxp professional computers. I have 2 of
them.

I am able to use ping6 with the IPv6 Address and get a reply from
other
computer , but only if I define the scope-id as 4. Without it does not
ping.
But as I understand that being on the same LAN the scope Id is
necessary....is it ??

Other problem I am facing is with Web server. I have installed the
native
IIS of the winxp. I am able to access the site using the Ipv4 address
of the
website but as soon as I put the Ipv6 address in the IE6 (browser) I
am
getting error "Invalid Syntax". Why is this happening ?? Syntax is
correct
as http://[ipv6-address]  but still I am getting this error. After
some
browing I found out that "wininet.dll" file is needed to access IPv6
Sites.
So I got that files from the MSDN and copied it to my //windows/system
directory and still the problem persists.

I am able to Ping and tracert to the Ipv6 address.

Please suggest. Any ideas are welcome.

Regards

Amar
