Thanks Paul. I have modified my application to do ping to the link-local
addresses in the network and it works fine. Now checking how to assign a
static IPV6 address to the device. I don't see any information about static
IPv6 address in the document.
Best regards,

device *does* have IPv6 support DLLs, at least, in it, or are you talking
about some other device? If it does have the necessary components in the
OS, then it seems likely that some of the registry is missing to configure
it. I've checked my WM5 device and the components are present, although the
registry doesn't have any entries.
So, the next step is to track down what's not working (or whether it's even
possible to do what you're asking for). The documentation for "Internet
Protocol Version 6" in the Windows CE 5.0 help is probably the best place to
start. It's pretty cryptic, but it appears to me that the DHCPv6 Lite
settings are what you need to get configured correctly in order to request a
v6 identity on a given interface.
Have you tried creating a new network connection with the connection manager
and seeing if any IPv6 settings are allowed there?

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,

"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.
