Mitel and IPv6

[Webmany]

As some of you know, we will be transitioning from IPv4 to IPv6 in the next couple of years. Here is Mitels plans for supporting the change:

Mitel's medium term strategy is based on the use of MBG as an IPv4/IPv6 dual-stack application layer gateway (ALG). This enables us to
leave the MCD platform and application server components in an IPv4 island, and still successfully connect to an IPv6 network via the MBG.

As part of the IPV6 strategy a firmware update is planned for our current MiNET sets (5312/20/24/30/40/60) to calendar Q3 2011. Investigation is
underway to look at possibly accelerating the MBG roadmap to align with the sets schedule. The current plan is to produce a deployable
MiNET IPv6 solution in calendar 2011.

In the long term, we are also starting to look at the inclusion of native dual-stack IPv4/IPv6 support across our platforms and application servers
However, given the development effort required to do so, our MBG-based solution will be the way we address IPv6 deployment requirements for
the next few years

Does this mean that the Mitel UCA solution does not work om win 7 pc as yet. I'm struggling to migrate my client from xp to win 7. Using the same UCA ver 3.2 on both pc's, the xp works fine but the win 7 not. The solutions runs between Australia and South Africa. If the win 7 pc is taken to SA by my cliebt, it works fine but, bring it back to Aus, UCA refuse to work.

Initialization Error
The error message is:

UCA cannot find server: xxx.xxxxxx.xxxxx. This may be caused by a networking problem or an incorrect host address. (I've taken out the server details)

UCA is supposed to run via a VPN and DHCP which is configured exactly the same on both pc's but on the win 7 pc, it does not even run to the logon UI.

Investigations point to major differences in routing setup and IP and UDP ports being opened when connection is made to SA. I've gone so far as to copy and paste the complete installation from the win 7 pc to the xp pc and the xp pc works. I've also did a copy paste from the xp pc to the win 7 pc and still no positive result.

Tried compatibility mode on the win 7 pc, run as admin user...trust me, I've tried all the usual tricks of the trade.

Ping and everything else is fine once the VPN is made and TTL good. Both pc is of the same brand (Lenovo) with the xp pc 1 model older than the win 7 pc.

Can anyone point to why UCA works fine on win 7 within the country where the server is located (SA) but not in Aus.

How it expected to use IP trunking between MCD call controls over IPv6 WAN networks?

Likley need to tunnel until the 3300 is dual stack.
