http://www.microsoft.com/...nxppro/plan/faqipv6.mspx:Q. Why does IPv6 protocol in Network Connections in Windows XP with SP1 display as "Microsoft IPv6 Developer Edition"?
A. Despite the displayed name, the IPv6 protocol for Windows XP with SP1 is a supported protocol in the same way as the IPv6 protocol for the Windows Server 2003 family. Microsoft developers were unable to change the name of the protocol due to the impact of the change for localized versions of Windows XP.
Q. What are the differences between the IPv6 protocol for the Windows Server 2003 family, Windows XP with no service packs installed, Windows XP with SP1, and Windows XP with SP2?
A. The IPv6 protocol for Windows XP with no service packs installed was provided as a developer preview. The IPv6 protocol for Windows XP with SP1, Windows XP with SP2, and Windows Server 2003 is a supported protocol. The IPv6 protocol for all versions of Windows XP does not include IPv6 support for file and print sharing, DNS messages over IPv6, or IPv6 support for the WinInet, IPHelper, and DCOM APIs.
The IPv6 protocol for Windows XP with SP2 includes Teredo client and host-specific relay support and configurable firewall support with the new Windows Firewall. These new features are not supported by Windows Server 2003.
The IPv6 protocol for Windows XP with no service packs installed, Windows XP with SP1, and Windows XP with SP2 includes the following tools that are not provided for the Windows Server 2003 family:
• Ipv6.exe: Used for configuring the IPv6 protocol. The recommended method to configure IPv6 for Windows XP with SP1 and Windows XP with SP2 is by using commands in the netsh interface ipv6 context.
• Ping6.exe: The recommended tool to use for Windows XP with SP1 and Windows XP with SP2 is the IPv6-enabled version of the Ping.exe tool.
• Tracert6.exe: The recommended tool to use for Windows XP with SP1 and Windows XP with SP2 is the IPv6-enabled version of the Tracert.exe tool.
IPv6 in Windows XP is dus geen development versie. De ondersteuning van IPv6 door Windows XP is vollediger (feature rijker) dan die door Windows 2003.
Ik zit nu op een netwerk van de universiteit dat IPv6 ondersteunt. Daar kan ik pas gebruik van maken als de router in Windows 2003 IPv6 ondersteunt. Omdat het geen haast heeft en omdat ik niet zulke goede ervaringen heb met een 3rd party router, wacht ik geduldig tot Microsoft SP1 of een aparte update uitbrengt. Vandaar 1 van mijn vragen of daar al wat over bekend is.
