Wraithe, you don't have your facts straight. There is no ipv6 on the Internet. There are no routers that can handle it and there are no DHCP servers dishing out IP addresses for it. It is the next generation of IP addressing but it is currently not used at all. Get a dos box going on your machine and type 'ipconfig' for windows or 'ifconfig' for linux. You will see only ip4 addresses, nothing else.
For others, ip6 is a 32bit addressing scheme for the Internet while ip4 is the current 16bit method. The 32bit method will square the number of available ip addresses.
