| Hi All,
I have the following entries in my TCP/IP stack for Vista Home Premium, and just want to make sure if there is anything I can remove. This is the first time I've seen two TCP/IP versions in a stack since I'm coming from XP, NT, and 2000. I'm also not sure what the Link-Layer is all about, and can it be removed.
Client for Microsoft Networks
Qos Packet Scheduler
File and Print Sharing for Microsoft Networks
Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6)
Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/Ipv4)
Link-Layer Topology Discovery Mapper I/O Driver
Link-Layer Topology Discovery Responder
Thanks in advanced.
Matt

| OK, what part of "I don't know what it does so I'm going to remove it" sounds like a good idea?
Unless you're a network programmer (which I'm guessing you're NOT, otherwise you wouldn't suggest removing an interface layer), you shouldn't be messing with removing anything from the TCP/IP stack.
However, you can safely disable the QOS and IPv6 stuff.

| | Just leave them be. If you are running out of RAM or CPU power, it's not the network stack's fault. |
