> if you have native IPv6 (non-6to4, non-Teredo). While Blizzard has

> For those of you with Help Desks who have to support users like this,
> the associated setting in the game's Options menu is apparently called
> "Enable IPv6 when available". It's apparently grayed out if you do not
> have IPv6 at all, unchecked by default if you are on 6to4 or Teredo,
> and checked by default if you are on native v6. The tooltip says:
> "Enables the use of IPv6, the technology behind the next-generation
> Internet. Requires IPv6 connectivity to the internet. Checking this
> box without IPv6 connectivity may prevent you from playing WoW."

> Anyone from Activision/Blizzard who would like to chime in with more
