an IPv6 stack for Win2k on Microsoft official site [3] ;)
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*
Well, as Win2k was the platform I did PuTTY IPv6 on
Did you ? Well, thanks a lot for it, I appreciated. :-)
I am pretty sure that should work.
Indeed I forgot to mention that PuTTY IPv6 works. Sure I can do SMTP,
POP3, NNTP, even HTTP over IPv6 with it but unfortunately that's not so
convenient.
The reason MSIE doesn't work is because of wininet.dll
I hardly use MSIE (too many flaws, too often), so I didn't even bother
trying to browse IPv6 sites with it. Do you know whether other software
such as Mozilla/Firefox/Thunderbird use this DLL ?
You can circumvent that partially by using the binaries from:
http://www.sixxs.net/archive/windows/
Which as the README in it tells you are patched up versions of
wininet.dll so that it should be newer than what is available.
I know, I have them on my hard disk. But even those files are older
(2003) than the wininet.dll on my workstation (2005). So I'm afraid that
they still contain some uncorrected flaws. :-(
General idea is: Avoid Win2k (this is a debian list afterall ;)
Sorry, I'm not ready for this. Debian is just fine as my
gateway/firewall/server, but not yet as my workstation.
