I can only think of one negative.

192.168.1.1 is easy for me to remember...

Converted that to a IPv6 Full address:
0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:C0A8:0101
Which is not as easy to remember...

However until now, I didn't know there were other ways to display a IPv6 address such as:

IPv6 Shorthand:
::C0A8:0101

IPv6 & Dot Notation Full:
0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:192.168.1.1

IPv6 & Dot Notation Shorthand
::192.198.1.1

btw, I used IPConvert (searched the web) which may turn into a useful program for me one day...

I'm gonna look at my network connection in Vista to see if it allows me to use these shorthand entries with the IPv6 protocol..... But I'm at work and don't have access to that right now..
