How to make FLServer work with Windows Vista

Wed Aug 29, 2007 7:28 am by GunsnRoses

Hi all,

I had a problem to join my server in Vista, because of the ipv6 technology...
I recently found a way to make FLServer work with Vista, here it is:

1. Follow this instructions: http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb%3 ... &x=12&y=11
5b worked for me (0xffffffff)
2. Start FLServer 1.1 (no FLHook patched version, didn't work for me)
3. Enjoy gaming

For further information, a better way and other experiences please write them all down in this topic

edit: Oh, unfortunately FLHook does not seem to work with FLServer, I don't know why

edit2: oh damn, FLHook seem to work now, I think it was my mistake...i tested it with v1.0, but v1.1 is necessary

Greetz,
GunsnRoses

tzzz...

wasnt XP the same bad mojo a few years ago? nobody needed XP, but within years everybody was running on it

I'm running since January on Vista, it's fine, everything works with a little bit manipulation

Its a lot more comfortable.

Important This article contains information about how to modify the registry. Make sure that you back up the registry before you modify it. Make sure that you know how to restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up, restore, and modify the registry, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: 256986 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/256986/) Description of the Microsoft Windows registry

INTRODUCTION
This article describes step-by-step instructions for how to disable certain Microsoft Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) components in Windows Vista. To disable IPv6 components, you must be logged on to the Windows Vista computer as a member of the Administrators group, or your user account must be granted permissions to edit the Windows registry.

MORE INFORMATION
Warning Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly by using Registry Editor or by using another method. These problems might require that you reinstall the operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that these problems can be solved. Modify the registry at your own risk.

To disable certain IPv6 components in Windows Vista, follow these steps:
1. Click StartStart button, type regedit in the Start Search box, and then click regedit.exe in the Programs list.
2. In the User Account Control dialog box, click Continue.
3. In Registry Editor, locate and then click the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip6\Parameters4.

Double-click DisabledComponents to modify the DisabledComponents entry.

Note If the DisabledComponents entry is unavailable, you must create it. To do this, follow these steps:
a. In the Edit menu, point to New, and then click DWORD (32-bit) Value.
b. Type "DisabledComponents", and then press ENTER.
c. Double-click DisabledComponents.
5. Type any one of the following values to configure the IPv6 protocol, and then click OK:
a. Type 0 to enable all IPv6 components. Note The value "0" is the default setting.
b. Type 0xffffffff to disable all IPv6 components, except the IPv6 loopback interface. This value also configures Windows Vista to use Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) instead of IPv6 in prefix policies.
c. Type 0x20 to use IPv4 instead of IPv6 in prefix policies.
d. Type 0x10 to disable native IPv6 interfaces.
e. Type 0x01 to disable all tunnel IPv6 interfaces.
f. Type 0x11 to disable all IPv6 interfaces except for the IPv6 loopback interface.

Note You must restart your computer for these changes to take affect.

Note Administrators must create an ADMX file in order to expose the settings in step 5 in a Group Policy setting.

Roleplay: - the art of self-deceipt!
