    Ping command

    Hello, i have a question about Vista. When i use the ping command likte this:

    ping kees (where kees is a xp machine) i get a reply with an address!
    ping mark (where mark is a vista machine) i get a reply with a very strange number!

    Can anybody explain that to me?

    Your Vista machine is using a new IPv6 address rather than the standard IPv4 that you XP system is using.
