Hi All,

I am just finding my way around IPv6 and also it's use in Windows
Server 2008. I have set up DHCP and created a DHCP scope for IPv6 to
use a Site Local range (FEC0:). The DHCP server was set up to disable
Stateless Mode so it would provide an address to a client.

Initially that is all I did at the server. At a Vista client I
disabled IPv4 and set IPv6 for receiving an IP addess and a DNS
address from the DHCP server. When I used IPCONFIG to detemine the
outcome I observed a Link Local address but there was no Site Local
addresses.

At this point I wasn't too worried because some of the literature I
read implied that I needed a router and use netsh to set the M and O
bit to allow for Stateful Mode. I did all this. I installed the Router
Role but still no Site Local addreses being provided by the DHCP
Server.

If I examine the client with IPCONFIG it still indicates that DHCP is
NOT enabled.

I am now going around in circles. I am missing something fundamental
here.

I want to know a simple setup that will enable DHCP at the client for
IPv6 and allow the Site-Level addresses to be allocated.

Thanks

John L
