Could you please tell me If I can use Windows 7 for Ipv6 routing?
one more help -I am looking for a Ipv6 certification and for interoperability test I need to use two different Routers . I got a infor that Windows is not good enough for Ipv6 routing.
Could you please me how to use FREEBsd and NetBSD as Ipv6 router?
What is the correct version I should use for FREEBsd and NETBSD as router.
I need two routers for this IPv6 certification.

Given that FreeBSD and NetBSD have *nothing* to do with Microsoft, this forum is not a good/proper place to address anything about them.
As for using Win7, I think that's not generally a good plan even though it's probably technically possible. That's just not what Win7 is designed for.
How aren't you using a dedicated hardware platform for this or at least Windows Server with RRAS?

I concur with Jason's comments.
Also, Microsoft Technet has some nice IPv6 Lab Guides that cover alot!
