I guess you must have seen this. But, just in case.
[Creating a Valid Connection String Using TCP/IP|http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms191260.aspx]
Also,
SQL Server and SQL Server Native Client fully support both Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) and Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6). When Windows is configured with IPv6 SQL Server, components automatically recognize the existence of IPv6. No special SQL Server configuration is necessary.[Connecting Using IPv6|http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms345359.aspx]
