[Enno Rey]

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
