Turing on or off IPv6?

[reddice]

I have it turned on set to Native. Will it cause issues leaving it turned on even though my ISP does not yet support IPv6? I searched the forums but all I was able to find was many links not explaining if it is okay to leave on or off.

Hi,

I would follow a simple decsion tree here:

• If you need IPv6 turn it ON!
• If you do not need IPv6 turn if OFF!

By the way: You can use IPv6 also internally in your network, without external IPv6 connections...

With kind regards
Joe

I just turned it off. Some sites were stalling with "connecting". Thanks.

As I said does it cause sites to stall or maybe it was just the site?

If your ISP has IPv6 running, I say go for it. Better to find out now what you need to do in order to get IPv6 going, than later when the transition occurs and you have to figure out what you need to do.
