There may be more than one list there and a number of scripts, FWIW.  A number of claims being made on the thread definitely got my attention.

Zoiks! Their advice to disable (completely) IPv6 definitely sounds wise to heed - I've been doing that for a while because of it's lack of NAT.

For those that haven't run across this yet, you can't just uncheck it in Network Connection properties. To fully disable it:

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip6\Parameters\

Create new DWORD named DisabledComponents, and set its value to 0xffffffff

Then reboot.

Might have to tweak my waiting for return code from WUSA, using the list from this post I got the following output:

Edit: I wasn't detecting if a restart was required, (Exit code 3010), should be OK now.

I think this is close to a new thread!

Can y'all explain what any of "this" (in what level of Douglas Hofstadter context) this means!?

Other parts of "the tech world" are screaming about the end of address for IPv4, so to *disable* IPv6 ... is ... an explosion in a sphaghetti factory as the saying goes!
