Even remembering IPV4 ones are hard. That is why we have DNS. I mean do you go to http://66.220.30.38 or http://hydrogenaudio.org?

Well not everyone has a domain name .. There's game servers, Internet phones/voice communications, web cams, personal sites/services hosted on users home connections, and many other things where we don't have/use DNS (and they may not work, for instance most games won't accept domain names, only IPs).
btw, IPv4 addresses are easy to remember.

Dear God why not? There are so many free dynamic DNS server services out there.

I do all of that and more all via my free DNS subdomain service on my home PC.
BTW which games are you talking about? Most if not all I know of suport DNS. Granted they tend to list IPs. But they do support DNS.QUOTE(ogg @ Dec 23 2002 - 02:21 PM)

Hello and welcome to name that IP! On todays show our challenger Ogg will be asked to identify who's server each IP is by memory alone! Common well known servers will be chosen.
207.46.134.155
216.239.51.100
64.124.140.181
64.12.187.24
For some things, IP (v4) addys are easier, simply because they're faster and easier to type than hostnames. Especially if you're 10-keying on the numeric keypad.
IPv6 is a hella big namespace though, and since hex will probably be the oft used addressing scheme, no more keypad entry for me.
If IPv6 ever sees wide implementation. People have been talking about running out of space in IPv4 for at least the past 5 years.

Essentially IPV4 space is gone. Has been a great while. Just a few maeger class Cs if you are lucky. Even if you are a big company getting an address range is a rough task. If the ranges had not been allocated in this classfull manner the problem would not be so pronounced. Most companies with class A ranges are not close to capacity.
That is why so many ISP and companies are leasing IP ranges from other companies who own them.

The IP distribution is pretty silly. It's fun to look at who owns certain IP ranges (I'm playing with this owner lookup thingy). My university of 25,000 people (UCSB) owns a single Class B (65k IP's), but many uni's own a bunch of Class B's, and UCSD owns an entire class A (44.*.*.*). I don't know what they're doing with all those IP's, but it's probably not Kosher.
XP has some IPv6 test implementation in SP1.
I haven't installed SP1, but did install over 60 patches, so i don't know, maybe it was included with one. Mine has a "Service that offers IPv6 connectivity over an IPv4 network." as well. 6to4svc.dll in windows\system32.
