Windows 2000 doesn't officialy support IPv6. If you have IPv6 on Win2k
it is severely broken at a couple of points. Next to that, does it
matter to see the numbers instead of names? It's not like you have SSH
running on it or anything which requires logging.
Thus what is the problem here?

Only XP SP1/Win2k3/Vista and later are officially supported by M$ to
have a working IPv6.

Next ;)

Greets,
 Jeroen
