(internet Protocol) IPv6 is the next step from IPv4. Currently we are not using IPv6 for our networks but soon it will implemented into our networks normally.

IPv6 uses 128 bit spaces for its ip addresses were as IPv4 only uses 32 bit spaces. That means IPv6 can support 2128 addresses. I do not think we will run out of addresses with this version anytime soon.

Does Windows XP support IPv6?

Short answer - yes.You need to be running Service Pack 1 at a minimum.Service Pack 2 has an even more complete IPv6 stack.To enable IPv6 on XP, open a command prompt window and type:C:\> ipv6 /?Did you then see this result?:C:\> ipv6 /?Could not access IPv6 protocol stack - the stack is not installed.To install, please use 'ipv6 install'.If you did get the above result, simply type:C:\> ipv6 installIt will take a few seconds, and then your Windows XP system will be fully IPv6 enabled.
