Thank you very much for your prompt reply. I had already read the
excellent stuff you referenced for me but I'm still left with the
problem that I can't get a Site-Local address issued to my Vista
client from DHCPv6. It must be something I am doing that is causing
the problem.
Here is how I set IPv6 up on my system.
On a Windows 2008 Domain Controller
1. Set IPv6 Static Address FEC0:0:0:FFFE::1
2. Set Preferred DNS Server Address FEC0:0:0:FFFE::1
3. Set Default Gateway FEC0:0:0:FFFE::A
4. Install the DHCP Role
5. Set an IPv6 Prefix FEC0::FFFE
6 Exclude addresses FEC0:0:0:FFFE::1 through FEC0:0:0:FFFE::FF
7 Scope Option Recursive DNS Server Address FEC0:0:0:FFFE:1
8 Enable Routing
Set the registry key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlset\Services\Tcpip\Paremeters\IpenableRouter=1
9 Set the M and O bits
netsh interface IPv6 set interface "Local Area Connection"
managedaddress-enabled
netsh interface ipv6 set interface "Local Area Connection"
otherstateful=enabled
At a Vista Client
1. Set IPv6 to get a Address and DNS address automatically
2. Restart the client
3, Use ipconfig
Link-local FE80 addresses available
No Site-local FEC0 addresses
I then tried to publish an addrees at the server:
netsh interface ipv6 set interface "Local Area Connection"
forwarding="enabled" advertise=enabled
netsh interface ipv6 add route 2001:db8:0:1::/64 "Local Area
Connection" publish=yes
At the Vista Client I now see the published Global Address, but still
no Site Local addresses.
Please tell me where I am going wrong. The DHCP server is simply not
leasing any addresses.

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
