I haven't checked in windows to see if you can configure your LAN port with IPv6, but it is definitely IPv6 capable when resolving DNS. I work in a domain management company running DNS servers, and we have 10s of thousands of domain names. Off the top off my head i guess maybe 10 of those zones contain and IPv6 address, and mostly in china. (i think). The thing is, IPv6 will definitely be needed for the Internet, but i think its going to be much easier to stick with v4 on local/ corporate LANs... purely because you don't normally need more than class C/B range, so you only need to remember 1 or 2 octets (instead of a bunch of hex values) when you suddenly need to connect to a failing mail server. -- [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
