No, it means "a configuration where libpcap/winpcap is built to support
IPv6 (yes, I know, Windows doesn't support IPv6 on the box;
nevertheless, if you get that error, it means that libpcap/winpcap was
built to handle IPv6).
The WinDump man page at
http://netgroup-serv.polito.it/windump/docs/manual.htm
says:
gateway host
True if the packet used host as a gateway. I.e., the
ethernet source or destination address was host but neither
the IP source nor the IP destination was host. Host must
be a name and must be found in both /etc/hosts and
/etc/ethers. (An equivalent expression is
ether host ehost and not host host
which can be used with either names or numbers for host /
ehost.) This syntax does not work in IPv6-enabled
