[Dnsmasq-discuss] Windows ipv6 hostname

[Michael Stilkerich]

Hello Markus,

   Windows 10 by default uses randomized identifiers instead of the MAC 
address. You can turn this off using the following command in an admin 
shell:

netsh interface ipv6 set global randomizeidentifiers=disabled

In addition to that, make sure that the Windows computer replies to the 
ICMP echo requests that dnsmasq uses to check if the address is in use.

With this setting the Windows computer should still use temporary 
addresses to initiate outgoing connections, but be reachable on EUI-64 
based address.
