Greetings to all,
IPV4 and IPV6. What? I know it's "been out there" but honestly i haven't paid a whole lot of attention to it. Earlier, for other reasons, I did an "IPCONFIG /ALL" command at my DOS prompt and saw what I have seen dozens of times when all at I once I said, "What?!" I did not make sense of the addresses. Well I found this link: http://www.computerperformance.co.uk/Longhorn/ipv6.htm which explains it a bit. What I can't figure out is why my computer has 6 IP ADDRESSES: The usual IPV4 Gateway from the Comcast router, and the DHCP address given by the router, and the usual MAC address. But this computer also has 5 IPV6 Addresses: Here is a copy paste: (I changed some numbers for privacy)

I copied and pasted them each into my Visual IP Trace application I use for tracking hackers and they all show my computer... weird or what?
I also typed one of the IPV6 addresses from my PC into Visual IP Trace on another computer and the searches ping off of itself... cannot find what it is out on the ether... perhaps these are all addresses on the local network, not on the Internet.
I'm also wondering if anyone out there have had to deal with the IPV6 for Industrial Networking? Has AB or ROCKWELL gotten into that, or is everyone still using IPV4 addressing?
If any of Y'all know anything about the "scheme" let me know. This is the main desktop PC, my laptops just show the usual IPV4 addressing. They are all XP PRO.
I hope it's not big brother or ??? Vipre should nail them I would think... may be I am just Paranoid...
