Hi, thanks for that link. big questions is: what means "disabling IPv6" in those contexts? unchecking IPv6 in GUI based interface properties? setting "DisabledComponents" to 0xfffffff? using some netsh-based approach?
from what I hear: "as long as you can successfully ping ::1, IPv6 is considered enabled and MS regards this as a 'supported configuration'". best Enno On Wed, Jul 17, 2013 at 04:45:58PM +0200, Jens Link wrote: > Enno Rey <e...@ernw.de> writes: > > Hi, > > > There's quite some debate which approach to use due to operational > > practices and MS telling people "not to 'fully' disable IPv6 as you > > might lose support for $SYSTEM". > > I'm still looking for a source too.
