This paper presents the autoconfiguration technology that can be used for lots of network services including multimedia services in IPv6-based mobile ad-hoc network. A mobile node gets a unique unicast address through IPv6 unicast address autoconfiguration, some applications on the mobile node that need multicast address allocation can get a unique multicast address through IPv6 multicast address autoconfiguration, the applications can resolve a domain name through multicast name resolution and the client can find the information which is needed to access a server through service discovery. Thus, the user of mobile node can use network services easily with this autoconfiguration technology.
