IPv4 and IPv6 Connection Problems

The possible causes and remedies for problems when using an IPv4 or IPv6 address are as
follows:
Unable to connect using an IPv4 address
When 0 (zero) is prepended to
the head of a value for the IPv4
address (for example:
192.0.2.010), connection fails.
Unable to connect using an IPv6 address
You cannot connect to the
machine with the link-local
address.
The machine cannot connect
to a computer running
Windows OS that supports
IPv6.
A device outside the router
cannot be searched.
When SSL is enabled on Dell
Printer Configuration Web
Tool, even if you specify "http://
[IPv6 address]", you are not
redirected to "https://[IPv6
address]".
Unable to print using an IPv6 address
On an IPv6 network without a
DNS server, a computer
running Windows OS that
supports IPv6 cannot be
connected to a Windows
shared printer.
IPv6 communication cannot be
established with NetWare.
Symptom
Do not prepend 0 (zero) to each value of an IPv4 address.
Symptom
When you specify the machine's link-local address, a scope ID
must be appended to the address.
For example, when you use Internet Explorer 7 on Windows
Vista to access the address "fe80::203:baff:fe48:9010", you must
append the Ethernet adapter local area connection number (for
example, 8) for Windows Vista to the address as follows:
fe80::203:baff:fe48:9010%8
Assign a static IPv6 address to the computer running Windows
OS that supports IPv6.
Then, register the IPv6 address on the machine as host address
to allow communication.
When searching for a device outside the router via SMB, directly
specify the address. Multicasting is supported only within a local
link (FF02::1).
When SSL is enabled, directly specify "https://[IPv6 address]".
Symptom
Register the computer name of the machine on the "hosts" file
stored on the computer running Windows OS that supports
IPv6. For example, register in the following file:
C:\Windows\system32\driver\etc\hosts
NetWare does not support IPv6 communication. Use IPv4 for
NetWare.
