Hyper-V weird ping results from guests

[Guest Dan]

We have a Hyper-V cluster setup on our HP Blades and when a Windows 2003

Hyper-V guests pings itself the results are all over the place. Not really a

problem until you start using SCOM to check ping availability now our SCOM

falsly reports on slow pings replies.

 

And when a Windows 2008 Server guest pings itself it says reply from ::1

which to me says it's using IPv6 but I have IPv6 uncheked for all network

connections.

Even if you have IPv6 unchecked in network connections, IPv6 IP's still show

up when you do a "ipconfig /all". The only way that I know how to disable

all IPv6 is to hack the registry and uncheck it in network connections.

Here is the link to the MS article, requires reboot.

From others, I heard not to do this on Exchange 2007 box as it will seems to

rely on IPv6, but I could be wrong.
