A tech guy was in our offices today checking out our network and he recommended 
that we turn off IPv6 on all our Macs. He said we don't use it, as we're on 
IPv4 and that it slows down the network.

Can anyone out there advise me on whether his information is correct, and if 
so, how does one turn off IPv6? My Network panel has an option to Configure 
IPv6, but the only options offered are Automatically, Manually and Link-local 
only; there's no option to disable or turn off. A Google search shows how to 
turn it off via Terminal commands, but I'm reluctant to do that without unless 
someone I trust can verify that it won't hurt anything.

I suspect this is a question for Lee, whom I trust to know everything knowable 
about all aspects of every kind of computer hardware or software ever devised. 
Don't let me down, Lee!

Thanks.

Dan
