I have a virtual network with a W2K8 server and a Vista client, both on same
subnet, can ping each other via IPv4. Both running SP2. The W2K8 server has a DHCP scope defined for IPv6 and should be handing out addresses. The Vista client is configured to obtain an IPv6 address automatically. I've also used the netsh command to make the following changes at the client: netsh int ipv6 set int 8 routerdiscovery=disabled netsh int ipv6 set int 8 managedaddress=enabled As far as I can tell, the Vista client should be asking for an address from the DHCP server, however, IPCONFIG /ALL isn't listing any IPv6 addresses other than the link-local unicast address of fe80... I'm looking for the site-local address of fec0... to be received from the DHCP server, but there's none listed. I've ensured DHCP traffic is allowed in the firewall. Not sure what to try next. I don't have any other clients, so I can't test others. Thanks in advance! |

Thanks in advance! are you sure you setup the server in stateless mode -- nso5300 discipline dedication devotion [url="http://http://www.signaturebar.com/\"][image: http://www.signaturebar.com/uploads/images/56229.jpg] |

I uninstalled DHCP, rebooted, reinstalled in STATEFUL , however, the Vista client still isn't picking up and fec0:: address. I rebooted the client too. The DHCP IPv6 scope is enabled, active, and should be handing out addresses. Still scratching my head on this one. |
