Disabling IPv6 with Nvspbind

To disable IPv6, follow these steps:

1. Download and extract Nvspbind to a directory of your choice.
2. Open Command Prompt with administrative privileges.
3. Navigate to the directory where Nvspbind is located.
4. Run the following command to disable IPv6:

"%~dp0nvspbind.exe" /d * ms_tcpip6

Disabling Additional Network Bindings

In addition to disabling IPv6, you may want to disable other network bindings such as Microsoft Network Adapter Multiplexor Protocol (ms_server) and Client for Microsoft Networks (ms_client). Use the following commands:

"%~dp0nvspbind.exe" /d "Local Area Connection" ms_server
"%~dp0nvspbind.exe" /d "Local Area Connection" ms_client

Replace “Local Area Connection” with the name of your network connection if it differs.

Example Script

Here is an example batch script to automate the process:

@echo off
set NVSPBIND_PATH="%~dp0nvspbind.exe"

:: Disable IPv6
%NVSPBIND_PATH% /d * ms_tcpip6

:: Disable ms_server and ms_client on Local Area Connection
%NVSPBIND_PATH% /d "Local Area Connection" ms_server
%NVSPBIND_PATH% /d "Local Area Connection" ms_client

echo Network bindings updated.
pause

Save this script as a .bat file and run it with administrative privileges to disable the specified network bindings.
