I cannot speak to all of the particulars as to why the issue(s) arise on our network with IPv6. However, I can confirm that the current recommendation remains that it be disabled. The typical issue that we see involves a failure to successfully lease a DHCP address. That situation is usually resolved by disabling IPv6. There have also been issues at time with some versions of Windows with IPv6 active becoming rogue (DNS if I recall correctly) on the network. Any information more particular than that will have to come from someone other than me.... /L -- Leo Sell ATS Help Desk http://help.msu.edu 517-432-6200
