Re: Implementation of Ipv6 in winxp

["Jeremy T. Bouse" <jeremy@nttmcl.com>]

I believe #2 is incorrect... IE 6 atleast can handle IPv6; however it does not
accept IPv6 addresses or do AAAA queries by default. I believe I recalled having
to find a Knowledge Base item on Microsoft's site to enable the AAAA queries and
have been able to verify IPv6 connectivity through IE 6 using www.kame.net's
mosaic turtle image which only properly displays for IPv6 connections...
