Appendix E. Notes on IPv6 Compatibility with Windows
2003/XP and 2008/Vista

IPv6 addressing is different from traditional IPv4 addressing. IPv4 addressing is
listed in the format 255.255.255.255, with each value 1 byte, a total address of 4
bytes. IPv6 addresses require 16 bytes, and are listed in the format
FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF, where there are 8 segments each 2
bytes long.

Windows 2003/XP

IPv6 support in Windows 2003 is not turned on by default. Use the following
instructions to enable IPv6 support.

1.

Go to

Control Panel

→

Network Connections

, and right-click on the Local Area

Connection interface that is to be enabled with IPv6 support.

2.

Select

Properties

from the drop-down menu, and the

Local Area Connection

Properties

window should open. Click on the

Install

button.

3.

In the new

Select Network Component Type

window, select

Protocol

and click

on the

Add

button.

4.

In the

Select Network Protocol

window, select

Microsoft TCP/IP version 6

and

click on the

OK

button. IPv6 is now enabled.

Windows 2003 and XP comes with a WinINet API that does not fully support IPv6
literals. Upgrading to Internet Explorer 7 in Windows 2003 is recommended for
IPv6 browser support as the WinINet API is updated with the installation of
Internet Explorer 7. Third party browsers (such as Firefox) also use the WinINet
API either directly or indirectly, so an upgrade to IE7 will be recommended for all
users.

As multiple IPv6 addresses can be associated with one physical interface, Windows
2003 and XP use an interface number associated with each link-local IPv6 address
that must be included for connectivity to any link-local IPv6 address. The interface
number then must be appended to any outgoing IPv6 traffic; otherwise, the IPv6
packet does not know which logical interface to egress from.

The interface number can be determined through the command line of Windows.

1.

Go to

Start

→

Run

and type

cmd

to enter the command prompt.

2.

At the command prompt, type

ipconfig

and find the link-local IPv6 address.

Appended to the end of this will be a

%x

where

x

is the interface number.

Browser connectivity to a global unicast IPv6 address

v

Global unicast IPv6 addresses can be browsed to by entering this syntax into the
browser address line: HYPERLINK "http://[%3cIPv6_Global_Unicast_Address
%3e]/"http://<[IPv6_Global_Unicast_Address>]/

v

The IPv6 address must be enclosed in square brackets (“[]”).

Browser connectivity to a link-local IPv6 address

v

The IPv6 address cannot be entered into a browser window in the same way an
IPv4 address is when connecting via a link-local IPv6 address.
