Welcome to my Microsoft Tips & Tricks section. Every so often I run into small annoyances, that can easily be remediated. One of these are: Getting IPv6 replies when trying to ping a host in same subnet/vlan. In this session I will describe how I easily fixed this with two commands.
First, when I try to ping two hosts, I get the IPv6 reply below
By running these two commands, my IPv4 replies are back:
netsh interface ipv6 set prefix ::/96 60 3
netsh interface ipv6 set prefix ::ffff:0:0/96 55 4
I know this isn’t earth-shaking and ground-breaking stuff, but nice to know. I also know there are other ways of achieving this, but this is very simple, and I like simple.
Big thanks to:
