bkil vs. programming

Vista refuses to connect to certain wifi routers. I worked around the wide spread issue by forcing a static IP to the client. Is this the proper solution? http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928233 I guess we will never know. Thankfully the now vintage laptop is well supported by Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, so the problem is solved for good.

I'm in the progress of setting up working IPv6 on all computers I have access to. I'm fed up with all the hacks needed for properly accessing devices remotely.
