Disable IPv6 Connections on Windows Servers

This release does not support connections to IPv6-formatted addresses. This topic describes how to set up Windows Server 2008 systems so that they do not connect to IPv6 addresses. If connection to IPv6-formatted addresses is enabled, data collection fails.

The instructions are based on the assumption that each server has a single network interface card, which is the recommended configuration.

Follow these steps:

1. Log in as a user who has administrator privileges for CA Network Flow Analysis.
2. Open the Network Connections window:
   1. Select Start, Control Panel.
   2. Click Network and Internet in the Control Panel.
   3. Click Network and Sharing Center in the Network and Internet window that opens.
   4. Click "Change adapter settings" on the left side of the Network and Sharing Center window that opens.

      The Network Connections window opens and shows the currently configured connections.

3. Right-click the connection.
4. Select Properties from the menu.

   The Properties dialog opens.

5. Clear the 'Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6)' check box, if it is selected.
6. Click OK.

   The dialog closes and your changes are saved.

7. Select Organize, Close in the Network Connections window.

   The window closes.
