"Flyingmonkie: The short of IPv6 is this. You can replace a continuous stream of zero's with to colons ( :: ) however you can only do this once (If there is a single digit other than a zero in the group of 8, you can't do this). You can also drop leading zeros. So, 0000.0000.0000.0000.0000.0000.0000.0001 becomes ::1 (or as we write it ::1/128)."
so now another question lets say its 1000.0000.0000.0001 or something like that can i drop the the zeros to 1::1? or did i get that wrong?
