If you ISP has deployed it then they deem it stable on their network (they don't want the support calls if it wasn't).

If something doesn't work then maybe disable if no other way to fix it, then get on the Devs to get it fixed.

So support for the game suggested disabling IPV6, so far i haven't disabled it, and just left it alone.

Plus waiting to see how WIndows 8 behaves with the game, and get that all setup before i attempt any changes in regards to IPV6

May Switch back to Offical Viewer in Windows 8 possibly though

Why disable it? just leave it on.

Google is your friend.

(I will admit the advice is mixed; but OP asked, and I answered.)

And again I ask why disable it. I don't see him having any problems.

In some instances it may need to be disabled but I don't see the point in disabling it for the hell of it.

computerman2 posted : Hi All

Got a Netgear 7550 Gateway, noticed that IPV6 shows internet connection, do i need it active right now, or should i disable IPV6 in WIndows 7 64bit?

Just wondering at this point what is best to do with that
