IP Ver 6

[Nitin Sharma]

Hi,

I have come across a problem where the computer is getting an IP
address in the alphanumic form. As far as i understand the IP address
in alphanumeric form is version 6. How can we find out that the IP
protocol installed on the computer is ver 6 and not ver 4. Is there a
way to uninstall IP ver6 and install IP ver4.

Thanks in Advance.

To remove IPv6 (Windows XP)

1.Open Network Connections

2.Right-click any local area connection, and then click Properties.

3.Click Microsoft TCP/IP version 6 in the list of installed components,
and then click Uninstall.

4.In the Uninstall Microsoft TCP/IP version 6 dialog box, click Yes.

5.Click Close to save changes to your network connection.

Thanks for your reply.

The LAN properties indicate Internet Protocols (TCP/IP) and does not
show Microsoft TCP/
IP Version 6 in the list.
Still when we do ipconfig it gives an ip address in the alphanumeric
form.
Please suggest.

thanks
