Do you still live in an IPv4 World?

Well if you do like me, and you hate wading through the extra IPv6 spam give this a try

netsh int ip show config

 

It will feel like you entered a time machine back to the IPv4 days.

Ok so we are going to have to get used to IPv6 eventually, but now it doesn’ have to be today.

 

HA Edit:

Just got this note From Michael the leader of the Raliegh SBS Group

Hi Andy,

 

If you’re not using IPv6 right now, you can do the following:

 

In HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip6\Parameters\ create a registry DWORD value titled DisabledComponents. Set the data for this value to 0xffffffff to disable all IPv6 components except for the IPv6 loopback interface. This setting also configures the computer to prefer IPv4 over IPv6. Restart the computer for the setting to take effect.

 

Later on, when you implement IPv6 in your network, simply reset this value’s data to 0 and reboot again

    Hello,

    My name is Sun Yi and I work with Kevin Beares, the Community Lead for the WSSG which includes Small Business Server.

    Kevin mentioned that you had identified your blog in the last Community Survey and that you blog about SBS.

    He has asked me to contact you and ask if you could announce on your blog that SBS has a new community survey out. This is the third year that we have run this survey and it has been really useful to the SBS Product team. Could you please post a link to the survey from your blog?

    The Windows Small Business Server 2008 WW Community Survey is live (http://blogs.technet.com/kevin_beares/archive/2008/05/23/the-windows-small-business-server-2008-ww-community-survey-is-live.aspx)

    Thanks a lot. Any assistance in getting the word out about our new community survey would be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks again!
    Sun Yi
