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

Unable to connect using an IPv6 address

Unable to print using an IPv6 address

Symptom

Remedy

When 0 (zero) is prepended to

the head of a value for the IPv4

address (for example:

192.0.2.010), connection fails.

Do not prepend 0 (zero) to each value of an IPv4 address.

Symptom

Remedy

You cannot connect to the

machine with the link-local

address.

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

The machine cannot connect

to a computer running

Windows OS that supports

IPv6.

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.

A device outside the router

cannot be searched.

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 on Dell

Printer Configuration Web

Tool, even if you specify "http://

[IPv6 address]", you are not

redirected to "https://[IPv6

address]".

When SSL is enabled, directly specify "https://[IPv6 address]".

Symptom

Remedy

On an IPv6 network without a

DNS server, a computer

running Windows OS that

supports IPv6 cannot be

connected to a Windows

shared printer.

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

IPv6 communication cannot be

established with NetWare.

NetWare does not support IPv6 communication. Use IPv4 for

NetWare.
