1 - Introduction
----------------

ipv6srv is a very simple Windows NT service that allows executing 
MSRIPv6 configuration parameters at startup. It is useful to avoid having to 
configure IPv6 prefixes or routes each time you restart your machine. Just 
write your configuration commands to Windows Registry and ipv6srv will
execute them at startup time.


2 - Installation
----------------

To install ipv6srv, copy ipv6srv.exe and editipv6srv.exe to a directory
pointed by the PATH (for example, to c:\winnt\system32) and type:

> ipv6srv /install

The service is configured to be launched automatically at startup time.
However, after you install it is not started automatically. You have to 
do it manually, using Services option in Control Panel or typing:

> net start ipv6init

from a DOS window. Note: the service dies just some time after 
executing the commands, so "net stop ipv6init" gives an error.


3 - Desinstallation
-------------------

To desinstall MSRIPv6ConfSrv just type:

> ipv6srv /uninstall


4 - Configuration
-----------------

ipv6srv init commands are saved to Windows registry under key:

Software\Microsoft\Tcpip6\CurrentVersion\InitCommands

Each value under that key contains one command. The name of the key value 
does not matter. Commands are executed in the order they are saved to the 
registry.

You can edit the commands directly using REGEDIT application or, 
alternatively, you can use type:

>  ipv6srv /edit

See example.reg file for an example configuration.


5 - Command Line Parameters
---------------------------

Usage:   ipv6 /install       # installs ipv6srv as a service in the system
         ipv6 /uninstall     # uninstalls ipv6srv as a service
         ipv6 /edit          # edits the list of init. commands
         ipv6 /exe           # reexecutes init. commands

For debugging purposes, results of init commands executed by "ipv6srv /exe" 
are written to a log file named 'ipv6srv.log' located in Windows temp directory.
