I have never had problems, thank goodness. I'm not real computer savvy. What is IP6 service?

Bonny,
When you go to
www.some internet site.com, there is a service that translates the English www. some internet site.com that you type in to the real address in the form 123.255.255.123 this is called IPV4. With all of the new internet based devices, the experts figured out we (aka the world) were going to run out of addresses real soon, so IPV6 was developed. In this system, the real address for www. some internet site. com would be in a hexadecimal format like this: 3ffe:1900:4545:3:200:f8ff:fe21:67cf the result is better security, and LOTs more addresses.
In any case, if it is done right, it will be transparent to the end user (aka us), if it is done wrong....we will all be pulling our hair out.
Hope this helps.
