Easiest solution which works for at least most websites: http://ipv6gate.sixxs.net Or http://www.debian.org.sixxs.org ;) On Thu, 2006-03-30 at 23:38 +0200, Pascal Hambourg wrote: > George P Boutwell a écrit : > >>an IPv6 stack for Win2k on Microsoft official site [3] ;) > >> > >>[3] http://msdn.microsoft.com/downloads/sdks/platform/tpipv6.asp > > > > Jérémie, I just want to point out for the benefit of others following > > this thread some things. 1) This is a pretty old IPv6 stack... > > 2) It's experimental and never was released, it was only a Tech Preview > > Yes, but it actually provides some (apparently limited) IPv6 support on > my Win2k station.

The reason MSIE doesn't work is because of wininet.dll You can circumvent that partially by using the binaries from: http://www.sixxs.net/archive/windows/ Which as the README in it tells you are patched up versions of wininet.dll so that it should be newer than what is available. General idea is: Avoid Win2k (this is a debian list afterall ;) [..] > and telnet6.exe and manually copied them into the Windows directory, but > did not dare replace the DLL since the newer version addresses security > issues. Indeed, the security issue is something to watch out with. The other thing is that the older wininet.dll will break the cookies in IE for some weird reason ;) On Thu, 2006-03-30 at 13:42 -0600, George P Boutwell wrote: > On 3/30/06, Jeremie Corbier wrote: > > > > Well, you can use things like totd [1] to proxy DNS requests and > > translate IPv6 replies to IPv4 ones. > > > > [1] http://www.vermicelli.pasta.cs.uit.no/ipv6/software.html > > [2] http://v6web.litech.org/ptrtd/ > > Thanks...

Look at the dates of the first URL, people have been doing that for a long long time already. Next to that Win2k has been EOL'd and for a good reason. Next to that, be glad that there is something for it. You can always upgrade, like you upgraded your 1.0 linux kernel to 2.6, except that with M$ gear you indeed have to shell out cash... one has the choice of a free alternative ;) Greets, Jeroen
