Re: Enabling IPv6 in WM5.0 or WM6.0

Thanks Paul. As per documentation, if SYSGEN_TCPIP6 is enabled, OS will have
support for IPv6. I checked the device and I can see all required DLLs for
supporting IPv6 (like tcpip6.dll, ipv6hlp.dll & dhcpv6l). I have written an
application to do a ping to localhost (::1) and that worked. Also, if I do an
ipconfig (using Microsoft Power Toys app), I can see a link-local IPv6
address in the list. So I am sure IPv6 is working in this device. Does that
mean, IPv6 stack will automatically get the IPv6 address? (as the
documentation says that stateful/DHCPv6 and manual configuration of IPv6 is
not supported)

Thanks,
Sandeep

"Supported" is not necessarily equal to "present". You can build a device
with any version of Windows CE after 4.1 that has support for IPv6 in it,
but you can also build one *without* IPv6 in it. If Windows Mobile doesn't
have IPv6 support in the OS, nothing that you do is going to make it work.

Hi,

I want to enable IPv6 in Windows Mobile 5.0 and Windows Mobile 6.0
devices.
I have gone through some of the Microsoft documentation, and as per my
current understanding IPv6 is supported from WinCE 4.1 onwards with
stateless
IPv6 autoconfiguration.

As of now, when there is a media connect (NDIS_STATUS_MEDIA_CONNECT) event
occurs, DHCP will be triggered (if it is enabled) and it will fetch the
IPv4
address. I want to modify this, so that the device will autoconfigure
itself
with IPv6 address when a media connect event occurs. What all things I
need
to do for this.

Best regards,
Sandeep
