Re: IPv4 Outage Planned for IETF 71 Plenary

As a poor sod who is still running Win2K Pro on his laptop, I hope that 
these helpful hints will provide (different) instructions for the 
Windows variants: Win2K, XP, and Vista.  (This assumes, of course, that 
Win2K is capable of running IPv6 at all, which I am not sure of, having 
never tried it.)

I have wanted to "try" IPv6 for some while.  Thank you for providing 
this motivation to "get ready".
