Hello,<br />
<br />
I have installed IPv6 on an XP SP3 machine. Whilst I can successfully ping the machine using:-<br />

<pre><code id="code-10-27946694-1">ping6 ::1   or   ping6 fe80::e611:5bff:fe27:10b5</code></pre>
I cannot browse to the local web site or web services using:-<br />

<pre><code id="code-10-27946694-2"> http://[::1]/myWebSite/logon.aspx  or http://[::1]/myWebService/myWebService.asmx</code></pre>
I can still reach these services using IPv4 by browsing to:-<br />

<pre><code id="code-10-27946694-3">http://localhost/myWebSite/logon.aspx  or  http://localhost/myWebService/myWebService.asmx</code></pre>
although if I edit my Hosts file to resolve localhost to ::1, this then fails also.<br />
<br />
The web site uses net3.5 (ASP.net2). The web services use net1.1 and I have edited the machine.config to enable IPv6.<br />
<br />
I have tried both IE8 and Chrome and get the same result. Can anyone advise how I can get IIS (version 5.1) to work with IPv6?<br />
<br />
Many thanks in advance,

IPv6 on XP SP3

The Windows operating systems have distinct methodologies for designing and implementing networks, and have specific systems to accomplish various networking processes, such as Exchange for email, Sharepoint for shared files and programs, and IIS for delivery of web pages. Microsoft also produces server technologies for networked database use, security and virtualization.

Windows Networking

Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is the set of networking protocols that define end-to-end connectivity specifying how data should be packeted, addressed, transmitted, routed and received at the destination. This functionality is organized into four abstraction layers which are used to sort all related protocols according to the scope of networking involved.

TCP/IP

IIS is Internet Information Services, the web server included with Windows Server operating systems. All current versions are built on a modular architecture; modules can be added or removed individually so that those required for specific functionality are installed. The full installation of IIS includes HTTP, security, content, compression, caching, logging and diagnostics.
