IPv6 configuration on Windows Server 2008
Hi all,
I just bought a kvm vps and have installed Windows Server 2008 R2 on it. How could I configure the ipv6 address properly with only two terms that have been granted, IPv6 gateway and gateway prefix? I have checked some information about the IPv6 configuration on Google, but "/48" is still confusing me and I have no ideas to fill out the three blanks in the IPv6 properties window with these two terms listed below.
IPv6 Gateway: 2a03:ca80:8001::1
Gateway prefix: 2a03:ca80:8001::/48
Am I missing something out? Any help would be greatly appreciated. :S

I suppose "gateway prefix" is the network you're given.
Then fill it out like this:
IPv6 address: 2a03:ca80:8001::2
Prefix length: 48
Default gateway: 2a03:ca80:8001::1
And try if it works?
Thanks for the reply, I have already tried like that but it doesn't work,
Depends on the provider. Check thei kb for gateway address
@MikHo The only seems useful description I can see from their website is "Gateway setup command (CentOS):", nothing mentioned Windows though.
cat <<EOF > /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/route6-eth0
2a03:ca80:8001::/48 dev eth0
default via 2a03:ca80:8001::1 dev eth0 onlink
EOF
/sbin/service network restart

Well the information is the same for windows as for CentOS. Its only different way to set it up.
@MikHo How? :S
Addresses : 2a03:ca80:8001::/48 dev eth0.
Gateway: default via 2a03:ca80:8001::1 dev eth0 onlink
@MikHo That doesn't make sense to Windows; IPv6 address, Subnet prefix length and Default gateway needs to be filled respectively. Am I wrong? :S
