Hi there,

There's a discrepancy on the registry value listed on page 376 to disable IPv6.

Current text:
4. Set its value to 0xFF hex (256 decimal).

The hex and decimal values are not equal. I'm fairly sure that The Good Mark just missed the conversion to decimal, and that the hex value is correct (but the decimal value is incorrect.)

Corrected text:
4. Set its value to 0xFF hex (255 decimal).

The Good Mark seems to verify this correction in another post here:

Mark's Quote: (when asked to disable IPv6):

reg add hklm\system\currentcontrolset\services\tcpip6\parameters /v DisabledComponents /t REG_DWORD /d 255

Wow! I never thought you'd be so efficient with a comment and/or reply...
Where do I sign up for the lifetime membership? :)

Thanks for your excellent work on the books; they've been an enormous help.
