Windows.NET is the successor to Windows 2000 (no not XP, at least I hope they have dumped the XP "enhancements" ;)
The .NET part does have to do with .NET services as currently deployed on Win2k & XP. But it hasn't have a thing (afaik ;) to do with the fact that "file & print services" support IPv6. > If anybody does have a copy of the .NET package that supports SMB over > IPv6, please, please let us know if SMB runs properly over IPv6, and if > possible, test .NET with the Samba IPv6 patch.

No guarantees there though... http://www.microsoft.com/windows.netserver/evaluation/features/default.a sp#ipv6 http://www.microsoft.com/windows.netserver/evaluation/overview/technolog ies/networking.asp reads: 8<------------ IPv6 is the next generation of TCP/IP. IPv6 addresses limitations inherent within Internet Protocol Version 4 (IPv4) and is intentionally targeted for minimal impact on upper and lower layer protocols. Windows .NET Server introduces Remote Procedure Call (RPC) support and basic socket interface extensions, per RFC 2553, for IPv6. For applications developers, the Developer Edition of the IPv6 protocol driver and utilities, API set, and IPv6-enabled key system components such as Internet Explorer, Telnet, FTP, IIS 6.0, printing, file sharing, and others, is provided ------------->8 IE/Telnet/FTP worked already on NT4/W2k/XP... but IIS6.0, printing&file sharing NEATO :) I've CC:'d the mslist they at least do have access to the development beta's to test it out. btw... http://v6web.litech.org/samba/ is the url for the patch.
