13.6 Activating IPv6 in Windows XP SP2
In order to be able to locate the Sunny WebBox with the Sunny WebBox Wizard, IPv6 is required.
IPv6 stands for Internet Protocol Version 6 and specifies the procedures that are necessary for data
transfer via a package-switching data network.
IPv6 is the successor to IPv4, which is still predominantly found in use in the internet. IPv6 is already
activated in Windows Vista, Windows 7, MacOS and Linux. IPv6 has to be activated in
Windows XP SP2.
In order to activate IPv6 manually, proceed as follows:
1. In Windows, select "Start > Settings > Network connections".
2. Double-click the LAN connection via which the Sunny WebBox is connected.
– If Windows displays several LAN connections, there are probably several network
connections installed in the computer. Ensure that you select the correct network connection,
with which the computer is connected to the Sunny WebBox. If necessary, refer to the
manual of your computer.
– In the event that no LAN connection is displayed, please refer to section 11.1 "General
Troubleshooting for the Sunny WebBox" (page 53).
☑ The "LAN Connection Status" window opens.
3. Select [Properties] in the "General" tab.
☑ The "Local Area Connection Properties" window is displayed.
4. Activate "Microsoft TCP/IP version 6"
5. Select [OK].
☑ IPv6 is activated.
13.7 Allocating an IP Address in a Local Network
You select a static IP address (Internet Protocol). Use the address range which is available to your
router. In most cases, the address range of the router lies between 192.168.0.1. and
192.168.255.254. If necessary, refer to the manual of your router.
Please note during the allocation of the IP address that the first three address parts of the IP address
must be identical for all participants of the same network. You may not allocate the same IP address
twice.
Example:
Router:
192.168.0.1
Computer 1
192.168.0.2
Computer 2
192.168.0.3
Sunny WebBox 192.168.0.168
