Brian,
Thanks for that research. It reads all my clients are ok.
(May have to slog my older W2KServer.......still. Not a problem.)
(Have a plan ATM.)
Think I best kick back and just deal with local hdw troubles!
Best,
Duncan

Windows has had IPv6 support since XP SP2, OSX since 10.3 Panther, and Linux
2.6.12:

So unless you are running something older than those, you should be fine
from an OS standpoint.

Thanks. Understand your 1st share.
I'll continue to wonder about the "ip naming scheme" business.
When you state "modern OSes", which ones do you consider Modern?

Ipv6 implements a 128-bit address space compared to the 32-bits available
under ipv4. So yeah. The addresses have a lot more characters :)
For the end user, I'm not sure if you will be forced to use the new ip
naming scheme on your internal LAN.
Most modern OSes already support ipv6. Some hardware does.

I heard a 15 minute interview yesterday that indicates that IPv6 is to be
implemented some time in 2011. I've known that IPv6 has been in the works
for quite a while.
I've seen some IPv6 addresses. They look to be hexidecimal based.
Somehow I got the impression that it would be transparent to me and my
home LAN.
Perhaps my bad!
Now, I'm beginning to wonder what the future of IPv6 may require me to do
or update.
Am I looking at f/w updates to my router?
Am I looking at f/w updates to my switches?
Am I looking at driver updates for onboard NIC logic?
Am I looking at driver updates for add-on NIC cards?
Is anyone in the collective really up on the IPv6 business and pending
roll-out?
Best,
Duncan
