Hi,
I have VISTA machine on a LAN .When I check the state of clouds by netsh command
netsh>p2p>pnrp>cl sh st
I can find only the Link Local cloud.There is no global cloud present.
When I try starting the global cloud by command
netsh>p2p>pnrp>cl>start global_
it says
Clound not found <error 0x80980601>
Seed server in registry is set as
pnrpv2.ipv6.microsoft.com;pnrpv21.ipv6.microsoft.com

Hi Sumeet,
PNRP creates Global_ cloud based on the available IPv6 Global addresses.
Here is the Probable cause:
a. Machine does not have a Global IPv6 address.
i. Check IP configuration using [ipconfig/all] to find out whether there is any Global address in the System.
ii. Check Teredo status using [netsh int ipv6 show teredo]
b. Use following command to check if the Global cloud exists or not.
i. [netsh p2p pnrp cloud show stat Global_]. If the Global_ cloud exists, you will see detail information on that. Otherwise,you will get the message that Cloud does not exists.
Please let me know your findings.
Thanks,
Pritam
Thanks Pritam
I followed the steps and observed the following:
[ipconfig /all] doesn't give any IPV6 address to me.
[netsh int ipv6 show teredo] gives me the type,server name,Client refreshal interval and Client port which is unspecified.
[netsh p2p pnrp cloud show stat Global_]-> this gives the same error as cloud not found.
But does that mean that being in LAN we wil never have the Global addresses?

If you are not connected to Internet, you will not have Teredo address.

Thanks Pritam….. Internet was not available so I didn’t get any IPV6 addressJ.
Aftre connecting to Internet I am getting IPV6 address but it’s an ISATAP address and not the teredo.
Its Link-local IPV6 address as
Etherenet adapter Local Area Connection:
fe80::99af::191d……………………..………..%8
and
Tunnel Adapter Local Area connection*6
fe80::5efe::172………………………… …%9

Is your machine joined to a domain? if so, teredo is off by default.
You can enable it by running netsh interface ipv6 set teredo enterpriseclient
Thanx Tripp,
I ran this
netsh interface ipv6 set teredo enterpriseclient from elevated command prompt.
Result is => ok
But still no teredo address
.
I din't get any global cloud also.

Hi Sumeet,
Teredo is a transition technology. It tunnels IPv6 traffic over IPv4 UDP. You will find more information on Teredo at. http://www.microsoft.com/technet/network/ipv6/teredo.mspx.
I think the problem is your corporate Firewall is blocking IPv4 UDP traffic. Hence, your machine is not able to connect the Teredo Server and not getting the Teredo address.
Please let me know if you need some more information.
Thanks,
Pritam
Thanks Pritam,
I observed a different thing on one of my machine in Corporate setup where i was able to get the Global cloud with status as Virtual.
After i start it by using
Start Global_
it started synchronizing,but later came uo with the status as Alone insteed of Active.
What does this mean?
Again I tried starting the global cloud,but this time it failed with same error <cloud not found>
Also,I wanted to know can a machine have more than one global cloud?
Regards
Sumeet
Hi Sumeet,
You must have had a Global ipv6 address, right? Were you able to ping the pnrp seed server (netsh p2p pnrp diag ping seed Global_)? Your cloud will go into the virtual state during the bootstrapping process, or after fifteen minutes of inactivity.
A machine can only have one Global_ cloud.
Thanks!
