Hello,
George P Boutwell a écrit :
an IPv6 stack for Win2k on Microsoft official site [3] ;)
[3] http://msdn.microsoft.com/downloads/sdks/platform/tpipv6.asp
Jérémie, I just want to point out for the benefit of others following
this thread some things. 1) This is a pretty old IPv6 stack...
2) It's experimental and never was released, it was only a Tech Preview
Yes, but it actually provides some (apparently limited) IPv6 support on
my Win2k station. Stateless autoconfiguration using Router Advertisement
from radvd running on my Debian gateway and the utilities provided by
the patch (ftp, telnet, ping6, tracert6) work, but I have been unable to
have any supposedly IPv6-capable web browser or FTP client such as
Mozilla/Firefox or FileZilla working on it. *Sigh*
3) It's only available for Win2k SP1, that is to say that I was not
able to install it on my Win2k SP4 machines.
The FAQ http://msdn.microsoft.com/downloads/sdks/platform/tpipv6/faq.asp
describes a workaround to install it on post-SP1 Win2k. It worked for me.

To install the Microsoft IPv6 Technology Preview for Windows 2000 on a
computer running Windows 2000 and Service Pack 4, do the following:
1. Save the file tpipv6-001205.exe from the download page to a local
folder (for example, C:\IPv6TP).
2. From the local folder (C:\IPv6TP), run Tpipv6-001205.exe and
extract the files to the same location.
3. From the local folder (C:\IPv6TP), run Setup.exe -x and extract
the files to a subfolder of the current folder (for example,
C:\IPv6TP\files).
4. From the folder containing the extracted files (C:\IPv6TP\files),
open the file Hotfix.inf in a text editor.
5. In the [Version] section of the Hotfix.inf file, change the line
NTServicePackVersion=256 to NTServicePackVersion=1024, and then save
changes.
6. From the folder containing the extracted files (C:\IPv6TP\files),
run Hotfix.exe.
7. Restart the computer when prompted.

Some files won't be automatically copied, because they would replace
some newer system files from the SP4 or security updates, especially
ftp.exe, telnet.exe and wininet.dll. I renamed the two EXE to ftp6.exe
and telnet6.exe and manually copied them into the Windows directory, but
did not dare replace the DLL since the newer version addresses security
issues.
