And where will that IPv6 enabled client connect to? ;) either do both, or dont do it... i prefer the first!
All current windows versions (vista, windows 7 and xp) support IPv6.. so no need for fancy pansy hacks or whatnot.. just make sure you open a dual stack socket and your done. So Valve guys, think about it again.. I'll bet there will be cake available if IPv6 support is available ;) Japje / Jasper Wonnink Evaldas, GameConnect wrote: > Next year RIPE will reach their IPv4 limits, so...
