IPv4 Shortage soon

[Gaigemasta]

Well supposedly the traditional IP is soon to reach it's max in 61 days, prohibiting any internet expansion, though IPv6 will replace this issue, a lot of OSes, such as WIN XP and before do not support this INTERNET WILL CRASH LAWLZ

lol but yah, if it does reach it's limit, I ponder what will happen, eg, will only newer OSes be able to access IPv6 addressed servers?

Microsoft has been developing support for the ipv6 stack for a very long time. It is fully supported in XP with SP2 and in SP1 with the Advanced Networking Patch. The only issue with XP/2003 is performance due to inefficiency running 2 IP stacks side by side (where as Vista and greater ipv4 and ipv6 are a single dual layer stack).

old news is old.

I kind always knew without anyone telling me that they'd run out possible combinations, but still, in 60 or so days it will be over

not really. They have been planning this for years. The move to IPv6 will happen. now I won't be able to remember my IP for a can of beans.

yah i know, when my cousin and i'd play games online, we'd remember each others ip address, no homo

This mostly, though i doubt performance will be such a big issue on new computers. The only downside is that ipv6 is not activated by default in win xp so you have to 1st install it via command line. Chances are there are probably some 3rd party programs available to make this easier for people. Btw installation is like only one line so its not hard.

No need to worry...

I'm just surprised and disappointed that hardware companies and ISPs haven't joined forces and provided computers with IPv6, cuz even though my Os can support, I know my cable modem can not

I'm pretty sure they have or are going to, in my country it was announced that we were gonna switch over to IPv6 sometime in 2011

[jyushinshuu]

all should swtich to dynamic ip, so that it can be recycled all the time.

[Gaigemasta]

still can't cycle when u got nothing to cycle to
