Oh yes, the IPV6 automatic Teredo tunnel ... I was curious, so I poked around for some articles on this. I found a good one. The default Vista IPV6 configuration is a Zero-intervention migration to IPV6. http://www.microsoft.com/technet/community/columns/cableguy/cg0506.mspx The "Disabling IPV6" section at the bottom gives some great tips on disabling some of the automatic stuff that aren't needed. I'll bet that 10 years from now, 80% of companies will still be 100% IPV4 (inside and out), despite more and more equipment including better and better support for IPV6. --- BBBS/NT v4.01 Flag-5* Origin: Barktopia BBS Site http://HarborWebs.com:8081 (1:379/45) SEEN-BY: 633/267 270 @PATH: 379/45 1 106/2000 633/267 |
