I have close to zero experience using Windows 7 at all much less with IPv6/HSRP+Win7<BR>
<BR>
I would be interested to find out more about this issue, perhaps I will run it in the lab and see if I can replicate this behavior. Was your experience reproducible? did you try some basic things like bounce the nic on the Win7 box? Did you have other non-Win7 machines on the same network that continued to operate without issue when the Win7 starting having problems?<BR>

When I used a GUA for my HSRP address, Windows 7 would get confused after a few days and lose its global address. Switching to a link-local address for HSRP appears to have resolved that, although we are still testing. We are running SXI5 on a 6509/sup720

According the documentation for 6509s the SXI4 release supports GUA for
HSRP. Previous to that you must use link-local for the virtual address.

A quick google search also yields 12.4T has support for HSRP GUA.
