Vista, IM driver, OID_GEN_NETWORK_LAYER_ADDRESSES and IPv6 address

Hi,
In my IM driver I'm trying to find out the IPv6 addresses that are set on
the interface. The OID mentioned in the subject provides only the IPv4
address, not the IPv6 addresses. Has anyone solved this issue already?

Thanks

I would probably query the TCP/IP protocol driver in user mode, using the IP
helper API. On top of my head I don't understand why such OID exists (well,
ok, I thought about it no more than 5 seconds). Also, consider that this OID
is optional, so you should not rely on this OID to be requested from the
protocol driver above you.

Hope it helps
GV

Hi Gianluca,

thank you four your input. Unfortunately, I need to rely solely on the IM
driver's capabilities. I'm afraid I will have to look out for Neighborhood
discovery packets to find out my IPv6 address.
Did Microsoft forget to implement this OID for IPv6?

Thanks,
Sascha
