I have a Windows 7 64 Bit machine, and I cannot find a way to disable the IPv6 Loopback. I looked at the article at How to disable IP version 6 or its specific components in Windows and shows how to set HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip6\Parameters\DisabledComponents
to various values – but none of these seems to disable IPv6 Loopback. I attempted setting this value to 0xffffffff
and 0x20
– restarting my computer after each change, and I still do not get this disabled.
I am using another software called Webdriver or Selenium that gives errors when debugging if IPv6 Loopback is not disabled. It seems to attempt to connect to [::1]:7055
and fails. Is there a way to force it to connect to 127.0.0.1
.

I know this is old.. but that's not good advice ... and if you add that registry key... set it to FF not FFFFFFFF. http://www.thewindowsclub.com/disable-ipv6-5-second-boot-delay
