I followed the advice at MyDigitalLife

http://www.mydigitallife.info/2007/09/09/how-to-disable-tcpipv6-teredo-tunneling-in-vista/
I created the registry entry "DisabledComponents" with a hex value of ff.
I uninstalled 3 isatap.{guid type #} in device manager.
I used netsh to "set state disabled" before completing the above.
Is it expected to lose internet by doing the above?
Did I over do it? :)
I did this to close a targeted attack vector that uses ipv6 to tunnel into your system bypassing HIPS/Firewall.
