884323 2010-05-13 13:26:00 Ipv4 and 6 are enabled (by default), under LAN properties. And yup youre right the ISP needs to support it as well. I see homegroup also supports IPv6, over a network. Altho, this isnt of much use. If you've only got one Win7 PC

Windows 7 HomeGroup doesn't just support IPv6 it requires it

Was having the same thought the other day. If the IP needs to be individually specified on each computer, how can this be done from memory?

You're misinformed. There's no reason to move local networks from IP4 to IP6 (unless you have over 4 billion computers on it), so your local network will remain unchanged in that regard. Your router will have a new IP address from an external point, but as far as you're concerned nothing will have changed.

This IS an issue, but only if you're an ISP or similar. For us users the only thing we'll notice is if it DOESN'T happen.

Unless you surf the web by entering the target pages IP address, in which case you're going to have some work cut out for you.
