Re:Disable IPv6 in Vista

I would be interested in why you want to disabe it. (actually Vista does it

already, by putting it's IPv6 packets inside IPv4 packets with a device

'hidden' by device manager called a "Teredo Tunneling pseudo-interface ")

(ipconfig /all)

You are probably seeing the expected 'status' dialog for the lan saying

"IPv6 Limited" and are thinking that that is why your router is slow. But

that's a guess. If so, there is a fix. Set the Properties of the Ethernet

device to a speed that is fixed, like 100 mbs/half duplex. Restart.

Go into the TCPIP properties of the network connection you want to

disable IPv6 for, then uncheck the IPv6 checkbox. Reboot.

??? there's been some use of IPv6 for quite a while now, so there are

already Iv6 addresses in circulation.

They won't be anyway unless you have applications that can speak IPv6.

I'm sure there are some around now, but very few people have them. And

once you had them, you'd have to have an IPv6 capable network:

routers, DHCP servers, web servers on the other end, etc, etc...

Now THAT's a good question. If you're like 99.6% of us these days, it

really doesn't matter. That will probably change at some time in the

future, but...
