15.9 Activating IPv6 in Windows XP SP2
In order to be able to locate the Sunny WebBox with the Sunny WebBox Assistant, IPv6 is required.
IPv6 stands for Internet Protocol Version 6 and specifies the procedures that are necessary for data
transmission via a packet-switching data network.
IPv6 is the successor to IPv4, which is still predominantly found in use on the Internet. IPv6 is already
activated in Windows Vista, Windows 7, MacOS and Linux. In Windows XP SP2 you must activate IPv6.
In order to activate IPv6, proceed as follows:
1. In Windows select "Start > Settings > Network Connections".

connections installed on the computer. Ensure that you select the correct network connection
with which the computer is connected to the Sunny WebBox. If necessary, refer to the
manual of your computer.
