I have researched some things and tried some things...
Apparently v6 refers to v6 of IP, containing the new addressing scheme. There does not seem to be a way to download that separately under win2000 for installation under win/xp. It also appears that to get v6 you have to also have sp1.
I also cannot figure out a way to download the sp1 upgrade under win2000 for installation under win/xp. All of this stuff is wrapped up in "windows update" which wants to work with the operating system of the downloading machine.
Unless I am missing something, there is no way for me to download win/xp sp1 unless I get win xp w/o service packs to access the internet. And it appears there is no way to access the internet unless I get sp1 installed.
So, I can either move cards all around in my machine so that I can add a wired ethernet card to my machine and somehow riun a cable; I can order a sp1 update cd from microsoft by mail; or I can go trade in all my linksys stuff for some other vendor's stuff that might work.
Does anyone out there see any other solutions that might work?
Thanks....
