Can't see IPv6

I've been using Windows Meeting space for a while and a few days ago i tested
some firewalls and now netmeeting doesn't work anymore. It says that there is
no valid IPv6 adresses, so i ran ipconfig and noticed that i don't have a
IPv6 IP. My question is: how do i get my IPv6 adress back?

From your post it would seem the firewalls were the cause of your software not working. The first thing I would do is uninstall the firewalls, reboot and try your software again.

If that doesn't work, use system restore and go back to a date before you started using the firewall software.

Let us know if that works for you.

Re: Can't see IPv6

Windows Meeting Space uses IPv6 - if IPv6 is disabled - no functioning
Windows Meeting Space.

In addition Meeting Space on Vista computers requires several Windows
Firewall exceptions - probably "messed up" by "...a few days ago i tested
some firewalls....".

Exceptions: port 5722 (DFSR-in), 3587 (P2P traffic), all ports for TCP and
UDP traffic.
