What is IPv6? The internet is running out of addresses and this new version of the IP protocol will take care of that issue hopefully forever. But how does this impact you the user? Well in the near term if you purchase new internet hardware (think router for example) be sure that it has IPv6 connectivity/compatibility. Then if you are using an older version of Windows (such as XP) or any version before Vista open a command prompt and run this command:
netsh int ipv6 install
Be sure to include the spaces where shown. Also be using an account with administrator privelages. When you hit the enter key after the command is entered the program will run for awhile and you should see ok appear on a separate line.
Type 'exit' to leave the command prompt program.
