Chuck,

I did not install the IPv6 with any intention.
I use the 1394 for video capture and nothing else.

I will try removing the Bridge and un-installing the IPv6 tonight. But
before I do it, I would like to know:

- if I remove the Bridge and end up messing up, how could I get the MAC
Bridge back?

- As I said, in the Adapters and Bindings -> Local Area Connection, the
"Microsoft TCP/IP version 6" is checked and "Internet TCP/IP" is unchecked,
and both of them are grey out.... that is, not changeable. If I uninstall the
Pv6, how could I be sure the TCP/IP will be back? or how could I be sure I
could check/select it?

Should I set a System Restore point first? Would the System Restore keep all
these kinds of settings?
