Unable to connect using an IPv6 address
Unable to print using an IPv6 address
Symptom
Remedy
You cannot connect to the
machine with the link-local
address.
When you specify the machine's link-local address, a scope
ID must be appended to the address.
For example, when you use Internet Explorer 7 on Windows
Vista to access the address "fe80::203:baff:fe48:9010", you
must append the Ethernet adapter local area connection
number (for example, 8) for Windows Vista to the address as
follows: fe80::203:baff:fe48:9010%8
The machine cannot connect
to a computer running
Windows OS that supports
IPv6.
Assign a static IPv6 address to the computer running
Windows OS that supports IPv6.
Then, register the IPv6 address on the machine as host
address to allow communication.
A device outside the router
cannot be searched.
When searching for a device outside the router via SMB,
directly specify the address. Multicasting is supported only
within a local link (FF02::1).
The Secure Watermark
feature does not function
correctly when you submit a
print job via an IPv6 network.
Use an IPv4 network for the Secure Watermark feature. The
Secure Watermark feature does not function on an IPv6
network.
When SSL is enabled on
CentreWare Internet
Services, even if you specify
"http://[IPv6 address]", you
are not redirected to "https://
[IPv6 address]".
When SSL is enabled, directly specify "https://[IPv6
address]".
Symptom
Remedy
On an IPv6 network without a
DNS server, a computer
running Windows OS that
supports IPv6 cannot be
connected to a Windows
shared printer.
Register the computer name of the machine on the "hosts"
file stored on the computer running Windows OS that
supports IPv6. For example, register in the following file:
C:\Windows\system32\driver\etc\hosts
IPv6 communication cannot
be established with NetWare.
NetWare does not support IPv6 communication. Use IPv4
for NetWare.
IPv6 communication cannot
be established with Bonjour.
Bonjour does not support IPv6 communication. Use IPv4 for
Bonjour.
