<div>I experienced this first hand this weekend, Vista machines with IPv6 enabled when attached to a small office WLAN took turns at causing the router to crash ,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The perplexed end user told me that when a particular employee attached her laptop to the network "Nobody else could use it", the ISP sent out a tech who after spending much time puzzling</div>
<div>over the problem, simply forbade her from attaching to the network.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>There seems to be a report of this here:</div>

<div>The CPE in question was a TPNet(PL) branded ZTE box (ZXV10 W300 running W300_V2.0.0e<span style="font-style: italic">DR0_PL</span>) , her laptop was running Vista (not sure which service pack) with Atheros AR5007 chipset,</div>
<div>though through some googling, I can see that similar incidents have occurred.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The fix was to temporarily disable V6 on the machine for now until the the ISP can provide an updated firmware image , after explaining to the office the cause of this, having never heard of IPv6 it failed leave them with a wonderful first impression.</div>
