In the Windows Me Wiki, it says that:
..." TCP/IP Stack: Windows Me includes the Windows 2000 networking stack and architecture"....

And if the above is really true, then is there some "remote possibility" that the IPv6 preview stack designed for Win2k,
could possibly be ported to Me?

Just wondering for some time now......
and I can't let it rest,
till I know for sure-----!

Here's a supposedly classic network configuration using a cable modem, a router and optionally, a switch:

Interesting that they also apparently use the TV on the cable modem.

I can't remember a time here (USA) that I ever saw that for either digital or analog TV's, and we've had this kind of arrangement for somewhere between 10 and 15 years.

For the past 5 years since they began digital telephone (to compete with the old baby bell telcos) we've put the telephone into the cable modem RJ11 jack, and of course the router (or computer directly) has always hung off the ethernet jack.

I'm thinking that they may have used the cable modem to allow two-way communication for something like pay-per-view maybe. Over here, at first we had a tuner/converter box for that purpose and it had a normal phone line jacked into it. Then later when the system went digital we used a newer addressable box with no phone line attached. Nowadays it is a single DVR unit with everything combined and all comm is on the single cable coax.

So what we do now is split the cable-in feed and send one branch straight to the cable modem (telephone + router), the other branch straight to the DVR's which each feed a TV (also to some TV's without DVR's). The good thing about this arrangement is that when you reboot the cable modem, no TV's are affected.

EDIT: RJ11 (or whatever they call it) instead of RS232!

Yeah, I might've mixed up a few concepts when drawing that schematic. A simple, basic cable modem has no truck with the TV - that one gets connected before the cable modem. In newer configurations, there are the DVRs as you said above, equipped with an RJ-45 socket for Ethernet traffic and analog + digital video output. Not sure about the phone socket. The schematic above would fit the latter configuration.

I'm not sure if this is relevant to the subject (it might help), but a Google search result led me to this...
"I have windows 95 and windows 98 working successfully with IPv6, however, it is only the browser with a proxy server that works on IPv6. I am using squid as both a transparent and a non-transparent proxy server. The proxy server needs to be dual stack."

And of course I meant RJ11 or whatever they call it (not RS232 LOL!) in that previous post. It is the old normal POTS phone jack for telephones.
