Currently the .NET framework does not support IPv6 addresses. The reason, I
believe, is because only the latest versions of Windows (WindowsXP/Windows
.NET Server) have an IPv6 stack.
If you wish you can take the new WinSock API and wrap it in your own Socket
class. For more information, visit http://research.microsoft.com/msripv6/
