Disable firewall/filtering when using Personal Communications IPv6 functionality on Windows XP

Troubleshooting


Problem

The Windows® XP Internet Connection Firewall (filtering) blocks IPv6 packets by default. You must disable IPv6 filtering for all adapters for Personal Communications to operate properly. The behavior is different from Windows Firewall (introduced in Windows XP SP2).
