Last I looked, DHCPv6 isn't implemented on Windows XP, Vista, or Server2003, nor on Mac OSX up to 10.6. Don't know about Win7, but the Server2008 DHCP server DOES include IPv6, so it may be there.
I have used an open-source client called Dibbler for Windows boxes - works well. They have installable binaries for WindowsXP,Vista,2k3, Windows NT,2k, and Linux, with the source available as well. http://klub.com.pl/dhcpv6/ On the Mac, I don't know. If you have the Developers Kit installed, you might be able to build dhcp6c or Dibbler from source (I haven't tried it). Hope that helps. Brian Fitzgerald Sr. Network & Security Admin.
