In order to be considered IPv6 compliant, your computer system and hardware need to be configured to transition to the new server. This may not require any action on your part. The Yahoo! IPv6 team has created a test page that you can visit to determine if your hardware is ready for IPv6. Please visit the IPv6 Help Site and click on the test button. Our test page will identify if your system is one of the few that is misconfigured.

If you find that you are not IPv6 compliant, you may want to consider staying current with the latest updates to your operating system. This could be as simple as changing a control panel setting or updating the software on your home router.
