Services: IPv6 Internet Connection Firewall
Can anyone tell me what the 'IPv6 Internet Connection
Firewall' service is for as it is set to 'Manual' operation. Given my curiosity, I requested the service 'Start' which produced the following error condition in the event log: "The IPv6 Internet Connection Firewall service was unable to find support for IPv6. This may indicate that the IPv6 protocol suite is not installed or it failed to start. The data is the error code." My internet connection has been shared and firewalled and running fine for the past year. I'm just curious about the above as I never noticed it before in the listing of services. Thanks |

It is a TCPIP version 6 firewall. You will need IPv6 installed to start the
service, it is part of the Advanced Networking Pack. -- Paul. "WolfP" wrote in message ...
