On Windows XP, the IPv6 stack installation is optional, whereas on Vista it
is the default (dual-stack). That may explain why µTorrent does not give you
the option of enabling IPv6; it has detected that you already have it
installed by default. As for Teredo, I don't know why you cannot enable it.
Anyway, is your ISP ready for IPv6 traffic?
