Hi everyone,

I've searched through the posts to see if there was something else about
this but couldn't find anything else.

The situation is:
I have a Windows 2000 Professional machine and I want to let it work with
IPv6.
I've found this:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/downloads/sdks/platform/tpipv6.asp but the version
you can download there only works with win2k SP1. But I have Win2k with SP4
installed and I can't find any other version which works with win2k

Can anyone of you help me?

Thanks in advance!

Ronald

Check the FAQ listed on that same page -- left hand side.

Note that the Windows 2000 Technology Preview edition of IPv6 is not a
supported product and doesn't include many enhancements implemented since it
was released. It was a stepping stone to the fully-supported IPv6 in Windows
XP SP1a, Windows Server 2003, Windows XP Embedded SP1a and Windows CE .NET.

Indeed, I meet the same problem with you. And if I re-
install the win2000, there will be more troubles. I want
to know whether you have work it out.

Thanks

Hi Simon,
my win2k pro machine is currently using
the patch You've suggested and it works very well! :-)

I've installed the same path on my win2k server and
those 2 PCs are currently enjoing ping6, tracert6 and some others MS IPv6-tools.

My problem is another:
I've tried to create, in win2k DNS server,
a reverse zone for IPv6

Actually, there is no support for ip6.int zones under the reverse resolution tree.
So I've created a direct resolution .ip6.int zone
and magically is disappeared from direct res. and is appeared under reverse res. tree...

there are NO WAY to create a ip6.arpa zone in win2k dns server.

old RFCs
RFC 1886 the reverse resolution suffix is ip6.int. [win2000dns server is compliant]
RFC 3152 the reverse resolution suffix is ip6.arpa. [win2003dns server is compliant]

current RFC
RFC 3596 the reverse resolution suffix is ip6.arpa. [win2003dns server is compliant]

ICANN have just said that IPv6 is active and officially running form now!

I hope that Microsoft will (immediately) ASAP patch the win2k dns server
enabling RFC3596 support for ip6.arpa reverse resolution zones

thanks
Francesco
