Why they didn't use the IP version 5?

The version number refers to the number of octets in the IP address. In IPv4, there are four octets (e.g. xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx). In IPv6, there are six octets (e.g. xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx). \n\nBTW, they are called octets because the number represented by xxx in the above examples is a number between 0 and 255, which includes all numbers that can be represented using 8 binary digits.

you can use either no-ip or dyndns, i tryied dyndns as it was recomened by my linksys router, it only worked for a month and i didnt get very far, so i switched to using no-ip, they are both free serveices. allthough no ip has a nice little appliction you run on your web server and it will kepp it updated with your ip address you are conected to the internet with. you can also to configure it to run as a service as well

In addition to fender_diana's correct response, I'll also add that IPX has been dying a slow death and is not in widespread use anymore, despite what some Novell proponents with their blinders on might tell you...

what's an ip?Just out of curiosity!!

I have IP-relay on my Sidekick 2 . . its so fun to use! Me and my husband just sit there and mess around with the operators! its great!

Generally the users supported are limited by two factors, the subnet mask used for the ip address, and the dhcp address range assigned. Of course there is also the practicle limit reached when you saturate the network with more traffic than can be supported.

CAN YOU PLEASE LEARN SOME ENGLISH BEFORE POSTING HERE? What the heck "period of ip v6" means, for Chirst sake?\n\nAbout IPv6:\n\nInternet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) is a network layer standard used by electronic devices to exchange data across a packet-switched internetwork. It follows IPv4 as the second version of the Internet Protocol to be formally adopted for general use.\n\nIPv6 is intended to provide more addresses for networked devices, allowing, for example, each cell phone and mobile electronic device to have its own address. IPv4 supports 4.3×109 (4.3 billion) addresses, which is inadequate to give one (or more if they possess more than one device) to every living person. IPv6 supports 3.4×1038 addresses, or 5×1028(50 octillion) for each of the roughly 6.5 billion people alive today.\n\nInvented by Steve Deering and Craig Mudge at Xerox PARC, IPv6 was adopted by the Internet Engineering Task Force in 1994, when it was called "IP Next Generation" (IPng). (Incidentally, IPv5 was not a successor to IPv4, but an experimental flow-oriented streaming protocol intended to support video and audio.)\n\nAs of December 2005, IPv6 accounts for a tiny percentage of the live addresses in the publicly-accessible Internet, which is still dominated by IPv4. The adoption of IPv6 has been slowed by the introduction of network address translation (NAT), which partially alleviates address exhaustion. The U.S. Government has specified that all federal agencies must deploy IPv6 by 2008.\n\nIt is expected that IPv4 will be supported alongside IPv6 for the foreseeable future.

IP restricted via the dreaded 999 filter. Someone on your network was bad possibly or yo)u just like being difficult and refuse to use explorer like myself.\n\nYahoo Video pushes Windows in almost a unholy way.\n\n;)\n\nGuarantee if you choose to download netscape 7.1 in german your problems will be solved.\n\nThen re-install netscape 8 over top of that installation and whoala fixed and java is now almost friendly and less insecure on your pc.

Because it's impossible without Microsoft releasing its source code. You can't run a program compiled for one kernel on another.

i'm sorry i am not sure how to find the IP adrdess, but just for your info, your IP address changes, what you should be looking for is the MAC address, which is fixed. peace :)

In truth, you really shouldn't have any need to use IPv6; Thanks to subnetting, even large corporations are stocked on IP addresses, which is the big reason for the advent of IPv6---more internet-routable IP addresses.\n\nHowever, being a computer geek myself, I'm certainly not above doing something for the sole purpose of saying I tried it; if I'm not mistaken, newer routers offer suppport for IPv6, though I'm not sure if the built-in DHCP servers most router/switch combos have these days support handing out IPv6 addresses.\n\nIf this is just a project to try out and see if you can accomplish, you might try getting your hands on a trial version of one of the server OS's (such as Windows Server 2003), and installing it on a box with two NICs in it, and letting it act as your router.  I know Server 2003 support IPv6, and I just tried installing it; however, I'm not even sure the native Server 2003 DHCP server will hand out IPv6 addresses to the DHCP clients, and I really don't know enough about the IPv6 address scheme, as it seems to have no Subnet Mask, to tell you how to assign IPv6 address statically.\n\nIf, indeed, this is not actually just to try, but to actually run IPv6, I should point out that even with a server rig capable of handing out IPv6 address to DHCP clients, it will still have to translate those IPv6 addresses back into IPv4 (though NAT or something similar, should NAT not conform to IPv6), since that's what your cable modem will be using, not to mention pretty much 99% of websites out there...\n\nA cool project to try, but if you're considering IPv6 to be "up to date", my advice is to just stick with IPv4, it's going to be WAAAY cheaper and easier to manage, let alone set up.

An new version came out on Monday - 4.10.3 and their site was down for a bit.  That shouldn't prevent you from connecting, but I have no problems connecting and I can currently access the limewire page.  Try downloading the update from download.com and see if the update helps.

The basic platforms are different. I will try to be brief. \n\nThe IP Office can grow to around 350-400 phones. Most features are included, or are licensed on a on time event (Voicemail Pro RFA will support unlimited mailboxes, but you may need more ports for access).  IP office has been on the market for about 5 years.\n\nMultivantage Express is Avaya's new super dupper bundle. It runs on an Avaya S8500 with Avaya's tradional CM3.1. You get 6 party conference calling (IP Office is more), intergrated voicemail, IP Softphone, basic call center stuff, and Extension to Cellular with the platform. \n\nI have priced out a few multivatages lately b/c of the call center features and have found it better to go with either IP office or a S8400 with features (price wise). If I can help in anyway or if you need more in depth discussion call me at 800.431.1333 ext. 1737\n\n\nMichael

you'll have to ask the LAN IP provider.

There's not, there never will be... hopefully macintosh users will learn how to make their own yahoo client with the new features.\nThis seems most likely a case of bad business by an almost monopoly. If a certain company, let say "micro-hard" just so we dont take chances messing with potential danger, realizes that its largest competitor (apple) has better hardware and software than the computers that carry it software, one easy way to stay in business would be to pay many companies to make all software for the competing company inferior, as to make the customer believe that the computers by the competing company are inferior.\n\nI almost forgot to mention, if you think the mac version is bad, take a look at the unix version. poor thing is a crying shame. I guess Gates really does rule the world.

Yes, you can.... Just contact your internet provider and he'll give you a new IP.

ICANN can't extend the IP numbering since IPv4 protocol which we uses right now as Global Standard consist of 4 bytes (there is 4 bytes of data in every IP address, this data represents what IP are you in). 4 byte number is chosen because computer works with data in bytes, and is best to work IP in bytes numbers too. 1 bytes is equal to 8-bit which is equal to 256 variations, so the whole IP address, currently can hold 256*256*256*256 number of unique address, which is appr. 4.3 billions address. Computers works practically in bytes, and it's hard for computer to work with numbers that is not byte based. \n\nThus it is hard to change the protocl by simply adding the numbers to it.\n\nHowever, there is a new protocol called IPv6 which extendss IP address, and still using bytes based numbers. It is by adding more bytes, thus increasing the number of IP address, while still computationally efficient. \n\nIPv6 works by using 8 groups of four digits hexadecimal (base 16) numbering. Hexadecimal is one of the number bases that is easy to compute by computer. This new protocol support 3.4 x 10^38 number of unique IP address.
