Owen,

I am genuinely curious, how would you explain the problem, and describe a solution, to an almost exclusively non-technical audience who just wants to get the bits flowing again?

    The advice is just bad and the facts are incorrect.
    IPv6 is not blocking the Disney application. Either IPv6 is broken
    in the users environment (in which case, the user should work with
    their network administrator to resolve this) or Disney has failed to
    implement IPv6 correctly on their DRM platform.

    IPv6 cannot "Block" an application.

    Turning off IPv6 will degrade several other services and cause
    additional problems. This is simply very bad advice and shame on
    Disney for issuing it.


Hopefully if enough people follow suit, Disney will get the idea.
