Someone on a forum I visit said installing v6 on my WindowsXPSP2 machine would make it more secure, even if my ISP uses v4, since my modem (router?) would change it back and forth. I have DSL from my Telco, a Zyxel 660 modem (or is it a router?). Why would I be more secure with v6 on my side of the 660, since practically nothing that I don't ask for gets thru anyway? What the 660 doesn't stop, my software firewall seems to. |

It wont, there is no point installing Ipv6 unless you know what you are doing or you have a ipv6 network, and as of now installing ipv6 could mean less secure because a lot of firewalls don't understand ipv6 so they don't protect it. |
