Perhaps people here would like to let M$ know that it would be preferable to provide pointers to real workable IPv6 connectivity solutions rather than merely hotwire the system to temporarily bypass IPv6 in favor of IPv4.
That's the path I chose.
I guess you're all missing the point here. I've never agreed too much with M$, but what they're doing is right. IPv6 stacks are quite mature these days but IPv6 connectivity can be broken due to incorrectly implemented networks / tunnels (see: http://ripe61.ripe.net/presentations/223-World_IPv6_day.pdf).
I'm not missing the point, just suggesting that it would be better if Micr0$0ft were part of the solution instead of just hotwiring past the problem.
For those clients there is no option other than disabling IPv6.
No, there is the option of troubleshooting why IPv6 doesn't work for them and working to correct it.
Hopefully the service providers & network admins get to identify and fix issues. This problem is not client OS specific. I'm all for M$ bashing, but not for this reason.
I didn't see where in the M$ propaganda it suggested calling your ISP or network admin to have them help you fix the issue, so, I don't see how what they are proposing has any hope of enabling this. Owen
