Vint Cerf , father of the internet, has warned that the web is running out of IPv4 addresses and users need to act now to change to a new system ie IPv6 by 2010.
He said that the web does not have enough unique codes that allow computers to communicate with each other. When the internet protocol (IP) addresses do run out, the connectivity of the internet will be damaged and some computers will not be able to go online.
When the internet was founded in 1977 there were 4.2 billion addresses available under the internet protocol version four (IPv4) system.

IPv6 addresses are 128 bits long and so provide a possible 340 trillion, trillion, trillion address space.

Normally, only Windows Vista users who bought the retail product would be eligible for free support but, for SP1 installation, even users with an original-equipment-manufacturer copy of Vista on their computer can get Microsoft’s help, according to the official Vista blog.
“We are offering free-of-charge support to anyone who is having issues installing Windows Vista SP1,” Microsoft blogger Brandon Le Blanc said.
