Windows 10: Any disadvantage to disabling IPV6?

My laptop sometimes has problems finding its DC (which is a NAS) when it is connected via WLAN. It has no trouble when I connect via Ethernet (perhaps because I do so at the same router which serves the NAS). Even via WLAN, it has no trouble logging in with a domain account or with mapping server directories located on the DC. However, I am generally missing the NAS as media server when I am logged in with a non-privileged account, and I often get the error, "The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted." when I try to do anything from a non-privileged account which requires UAC privilege elevation. I have exhausted most of the suggestions for troubleshooting or resolving this problem, except for disabling IPV6, which is recommended by several sources. I have been reluctant to do this since I have also read that Windows 10 includes features which depend on IPV6, What disadvantages or risks are attendant on disabling IPV6 on my laptop?

World IPv6 Launch Solidifies Global Support for New Internet Protocol

Major Internet service providers (ISPs), home networking equipment manufacturers, and web companies around the world are coming together to permanently enable IPv6 for their products and services by 6 June 2012.

Organized by the Internet Society, and building on the successful one-day World IPv6 Day event held on 8 June 2011, World IPv6 Launch represents a major milestone in the global deployment of IPv6. As the successor to the current Internet Protocol, IPv4, IPv6 is critical to the Internet’s continued growth as a platform for innovation and economic development.





“The fact that leading companies across several industries are making significant commitments to participate in World IPv6 Launch is yet another indication that IPv6 is no longer a lab experiment; it's here and is an important next step in the Internet’s evolution,” commented Leslie Daigle, the Internet Society’s Chief Internet Technology Officer. “And, as there are more IPv6 services, it becomes increasingly important for companies to accelerate their own deployment plans.”

ISPs participating in World IPv6 Launch will enable IPv6 for enough users so that at least 1% of their wireline residential subscribers who visit participating websites will do so using IPv6 by 6 June 2012. These ISPs have committed that IPv6 will be available automatically as the normal course of business for a significant portion of their subscribers. Committed ISPs are:

• AT&T
• Comcast
• Free Telecom
• Internode
• KDDI
• Time Warner Cable
• XS4ALL

Participating home networking equipment manufacturers will enable IPv6 by default through the range of their home router products by 6 June 2012. Committed equipment manufacturers are:

• Cisco
• D-Link

Web companies participating in World IPv6 Launch will enable IPv6 on their main websites permanently beginning 6 June 2012. Inaugural participants are:

• Facebook
• Google
• Microsoft Bing
• Yahoo!

Content delivery network providers Akamai and Limelight will be enabling their customers to join this list of participating websites by enabling IPv6 throughout their infrastructure.
As IPv4 addresses become increasingly scarce, every segment of the industry must act quickly to accelerate full IPv6 adoption or risk increased costs and limited functionality online for Internet users everywhere. World IPv6 Launch participants are leading the way in this effort.

For more information about World IPv6 Launch, products and services covered, as well as links to useful information for users and information about how other companies may participate, visit World IPv6 Launch.

About the need for IPv6
IPv4 has approximately four billion IP addresses (the sequence of numbers assigned to each Internet-connected device). The explosion in the number of people, devices, and web services on the Internet means that IPv4 is running out of space. IPv6, the next-generation Internet protocol which provides more than 340 trillion, trillion, trillion addresses, will connect the billions of people not connected today and will help ensure the Internet can continue its current growth rate indefinitely.

About the Internet Society
The Internet Society is the world’s trusted independent source of leadership for Internet policy, technology standards and future development. Based on its principled vision and substantial technological foundation, the Internet Society works with its members and Chapters around the world to promote the continued evolution and growth of the open Internet through dialog among companies, governments, and other organizations around the world.

Google ipv6 security bug

Can someone please inform google about these 2 bugs.

1. Google ipv6 0.0.0.0 error.
How to duplicate.
win7 + any web browser, firefox works best "3.6.18" , gogoclient for ipv6 tunneling and a internet connection.
Install gogoclient let it create the virtual adapter, restart and only let the virtual adapter do the ipv6 tunneling not the gogoclient software. (So disable start with pc option)
Open gmail.com with firefox 3.6.18 and login.
Next you will see a error "is it really you" DUH yes it is me trying to sign in.
2. Just refresh the page to skip the stupid google question / bypass the security question.
Sometimes it works here to bypass and get into your gmail. Major security wow.

If you get stuck with this above, disable the gogoclient virtual adapter in win7 networking and close firefox and open it again.

Login to gmail.com with gogoclient software disabled and disabled virtual adapter.
Next there is a error in red, "some freak tried to login to your gmail from 0.0.0.0, ignore or see solutions"
There it will show a list of login attempts from your pc with the incorrect 0.0.0.0 ip.

The ipv4 and ipv6 address is there but google claims you are at 0.0.0.0 LMAO @ google.
There must be a few more websites that is this stupid.
*Rockout :rockout:

 

IPv6

Hi Wally

It would be very unusual of IPv6 did not appear on your network acapter . .

Right click your network adapter and choose Properties

On the networking Tab of the resulting dialog, does IPv6 not appear?

If not, click Install - Protocol - Add

Does IPv6 appear in the list of protocols that can be added?
