Thanks in advance Sagar |

Thanks in advance Sagar XP does not support File+Print sharing over IPv6. The File+Print sharing components are not IPv6 enabled. In fact, not much in XP is. The web browser can access IPv6 sites, and the DNS resolver can resolve AAAA records but that's about it. -- Ron |

IS the above limitation only fro XP to XP or even from VIsta to XP. For eg : Say i had shared folder on XP , So cant i even access it from VISTA using the IPv6 address of XP. |

XP does not share it's files over IPv6, end of story. So no matter what OS you try to connect from, it won't work. Also, XP can't read shared folders on another computer ( eg vista ) over IPv6. -- Ron |
