    In the past we worked with IPv4. Now we have both, IPv4 and IPv6 parallel. If I switch off IPv6 on my new Windows 7 Laptop, all runs well. But if I use additionally IPv6, I get problems. The reason is, I need a stateful DHCP address. This is an address, which is added to the DNS by DHCP, when I get the address from DHCP. When I use a Linux-Laptop, it runs well again, after some changing in the net configuration. This I want to do with my Windows 7 Laptop too. I wrote this only, to tell, that the reason is not the Cisco Router and the DNS-Server, it is the configuration of the laptop.

    If I look to the extended properties (erweiterte Eigenschaften) of TCP/IPv6 and TCP/IPv4 in the network managenent, I see the explaining diffence: TCP/IPv4 = DHCP activated and TCP/IPv6 = Only automatic configuration. But automatic configuration is stateless, but I need stateful. How can I manage this? I played with system management, netsh, ipconfig and route, but I am not the expert in Windows configuration. So I would be pleased, to be teached like a beginner.

    Thanks for help.

    Thank you, the hint to Windows Server 2008 was right.

    It works now.

    But I must change your command a bit, because it does not work like you wrote it:

    netsh interface ipv6 set int ## advertise=enable managed=enable

    with the command

    netsh interface ipv6 show interfaces

    I get the numer ##

    Thank you.

    Hi mml_uni-kl,

     

    To enable state of interface to Dhcpv6 Stateful mode, Run the following netsh command from elevated command prompt:

     

    netsh interface ipv6 set interface ipv6 <interface_name> advertise=enable managed=enable

     

    Refer to this thread: How to configure DHCP IPV6 Stateful configuration using Windows Server 2008

    Just for completeness, what is the command to set this back to the default? 

    netsh interface ipv6 set int ## advertise=disable managed=disable???  

    Would that be it?
