Vista, IPv6, localhost and hosts file problem

C

Hi

Apologies. This is reposted due to updated nospam alias.

On some vista machines users cannot access a local web server on localhost
via the
browser.

Access via is fine 127.0.0.1.

This seems to be due to a conflict with IPv6.

Is there any way around this other than editing the hosts file or disabling
IPv6?

This might be a bit complicated for some users.

What is the cause of this problem?

Why is it a problem on some machines and not others? Is it caused/fixed by
a service pack or update.

Thanks for your replies.
