You need to download and install the IPv6 stack. http://msdn.microsoft.com/downloads/sdks/platform/tpipv6.asp Specificity with IPv6 multicast

AS specified in FAQ, you must specifiy a default route for multicast:

First of all, write the command line:

ipv6 if

and retrieve the interface number with the global address

Then, add the default route:

ipv6 rtu ff00::/8 “your interface number”

ex: ipv6 rtu ff00 ::/8 4

It’s recommanded to write this command in a “.bat” file.

Be aware of the fact that you must run it every time you reboot your windows 2000 station and that your interface number could change when you move to another network.
