Re: Disable IPv6 ?

[DrFranken <midrange@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well for one if you run ZendServer and their MySql it will randomly just 
quit if IPV6 is running so that is a bad thing. Other services also 
don't work without specific configuration when IPV6 is enabled. Inside 
your network do you really need IPV6? Most do not.
