For a small LAN I probably wouldn't bother implementing IPv6. You're best staying on IPv4 and keeping it that way, since, for now anyway, everything will inter-operate properly at IPv4.<br />

You shouldn't need to enter an IPv6 range when configuring a DHCP Server in Server 2008. None of my Server 2008 DHCP Servers have any IPv6 ranges installed.<br />

Ok so when should IPv6 be implemented? if an application needed ipv6 on a lan what addresses should be used, lets say I had two vista machines and I wanted to configure them to communicate over ipv6, what address do I give them , how do they get across the gateway etc

Most likely they are already on the same IPv6 network:<br />

I am setting up lab with 2008 test server with an xp client, I am setting up the server to act as a DHCP server, I have enetered the ipv4 range, it also requires an ipv6 range. Without reading through tonnes of articles can someone give me a brief lowdown on ipv6.<br />
<br />
For instance what is the equivalant of 192.168.0.1 &nbsp;in an ipv6 format, what addresses should I be using for a small lan if I am using ipv6<br />
Thanks
