An article in Network World dated Sept. 14 is titled "No IPv6 plan? You're behind schedule.". If this doesn't move you, well it's already November. And you know what? The article states "Experts say the remaining IPv4 addresses could be depleted as early as December (2010)". This information behooves you to be knowledgeable about IPv6 if you aren't already and have some sort of plan to use it in your infrastructure to properly communicate within your organization and the outside world. I will help you understand the essentials of this protocol, how to configure it, and the methods of using it alongside or instead of IPv4.
