in [Device Drivers]

From: Aruns on 14 May 2008 09:52 Hi, I am modifying code to communicate to MFP(multifunctional peripheral).both NetBIOS name and IPV6 can be represented with '-' eg fec0--11-143(IPV6),MY-SYSTEM(NetBIOS),this makes diffcult to identify whether it is IPV6 or NetBIOS name.Is there any standard way to identify particular address format is IPV6 or not?please give me suggestions :-)
