Appendix F IPv6

also displays how to use the ipconfig command to see auto-generated IP
addresses.
IPv6 is installed and enabled by default in Windows Vista. Use the ipconfig
command to check your automatic configured IPv6 address as well. You should
see at least one IPv6 address available for the interface on your computer.
Example - Enabling DHCPv6 on Windows XP
Windows XP does not support DHCPv6. If your network uses DHCPv6 for IP
address assignment, you have to additionally install a DHCPv6 client software on
your Windows XP. (Note: If you use static IP addresses or Router Advertisement
for IPv6 address assignment in your network, ignore this section.)
This example uses Dibbler as the DHCPv6 client. To enable DHCPv6 client on your
computer:
1 Install Dibbler and select the DHCPv6 client option on your computer.
2 After the installation is complete, select Start > All Programs > Dibbler-
DHCPv6 > Client Install as service.
3 Select Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services.
