You do need IPv6 and IPv4 on the XP host, but the host can exist in an IPv6-only network if you put an IPv6-capable nameserver on the host and let the host use that. It is only XP's own resolver that is limited to IPv4. As to IPv6 requiring manual installation, I'm not sure. When I set XP up in a VM, it seems to be IPv6-aware out of the box. Maybe it depends on the SP level? I am not a Windows sort of guy, so could well be wrong. Given that solving the DNS issue requires massive intervention on the host, actually getting IPv6 running is probably a minor problem :-) Regards, K. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Karl Auer (ka...@biplane.com.au) +61-2-64957160 (h) http://www.biplane.com.au/kauer/ +61-428-957160 (mob) GPG fingerprint: B386 7819 B227 2961 8301 C5A9 2EBC 754B CD97 0156 Old fingerprint: 07F3 1DF9 9D45 8BCD 7DD5 00CE 4A44 6A03 F43A 7DEF
