IPv6 on the Windows platform

[Ramon Smits]

Hi all,

I am new to IPv6 but want to learn more about it. I have the following
network at the moment


WindowsXP 1. <---(IPv4)---> 2. Windows2000 3. <---(IPv4)---> 4. ISP

Interface 1, 2 and 3 and NIC's. A VPN connection is build over interface
3.

I have installed/started IPv6 on my XP box as stated at:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/techinfo/administration/ipv6/defa
ult.asp

There seem to be 2 IPv6 drivers for Windows2000. A technology preview
and a research version. Which one would be the best to install?


I thing IPv6 should be possible on my LAN (traffic between interfaces 1
and 2). And IPv6 over IPv4 with my ISP connection.

How should I configure my client (XP box) to use IPv6 and not to do IPv6
over IPv4 routing.
How should I configure my server (2000 box) to do IPv6 on my LAN and
IPv6 over IPv4 with my ISP connection.
How do I configure my server to do the IPv6 routing for my client.

My VPN dialup (DSL) to my ISP has a static IP.


I do not need a step by step manual but more like the actions I have to
do to make this work because I am new to this stuff.


Are there already applications available for the Windows platform that
use IPv6? With that I do not mean ping, tracert, etc. :-)




Yours sincerely,
Ramon
