Vista Not Playing Well With IPv6

Posted by kdawson on from the pioneers-with-arrows dept.

netbuzz writes in to note that some early adopters of Microsoft Vista are reporting problems with Vista's implementation of IPv6. An example:"'We are seeing a number of applications that are IP-based that do not like the addressing scheme of IPv6,' says one user. 'We will send a print job to an IP-based printer, and the print job becomes corrupted. We're seeing this with Window's Vista machines. When IPv6 is installed, this happens without fail. As soon as we remove IPv6, all of our printer functions return to normal.'"

    There is no proven (and open) IPv6 stack. The one in linux has had numerous bugs reported so far.
