<div dir="ltr">FYI, if you disable IPv6 on any Microsoft OS, and you call them for support on any of their products (not just the OS), one of the very first things you'll be told is "enable IPv6, test again, and if it's still broken, call us back".<div><br></div><div>Microsoft do no internal product testing without IPv6 enabled.

Just like ICMP, turning off IPv6 because you don't think you're actively using it isn't the answer to securing it - correctly configuring it is the answer.</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 1 April 2015 at 11:49, Scott Weeks <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:surfer@mauigateway.com" target="_blank">surfer@mauigateway.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><br>

I wonder if anyone can comment about whats<br>
holding them back?<br>
Is it upstream connectivity/legacy devices/lack of business<br>
driver/time/training/testing etc.<br>

stoopid managers that have absolutely no clue, yet are<br>
in charge of the network.<br>
<br>
I got the border router and public facing servers doing<br>
IPv6 (we're a unique sort-of-enterprise-like network)<br>
and tried to roll it out to my desktop to test and,<br>
after a lot of troubleshooting, I found IPv6 was turned<br>
off on all computers. (we're forced to use micro$loth<br>
here) On asking why the response was we must turn off<br>
all "unnecessary services". Arguments ensued until I<br>
threw up my hands and said "Fine! Whatever!" and<br>
walked away.<br>
<br>
stoopidity rules on the raggedy edges of the internet.<br>
Those that think we'll be IPv6 only in 10 years have<br>
not had to work on the raggedy edges.<br>
