Services Utility: Peer Networking Group Authentication Service | Display Name (?): | Peer Networking Group Authentication | | Short Name (?): | p2pgasvc | | Executable (?): | svchost.exe | | Library (?): | p2pgasvc.dll | | Depends On (?): | Peer Networking Identity Manager | | Supports (?): | Peer Networking Identity Manager, Peer Networking | | Description (?): | Provides Network Authentication for Peer Group Members. | | OS (?): | XP Home/Professional, Vista Home/Business, Server 2003, Vista Server | | Startup (?): | | Default | Home | Workstation | Server | Minimal | Tweaked | Automatic | | Manual | Manual | Manual | Manual | Manual | Disabled | Disabled | |
Explanation (?): |
The peer networking group authentication service provides Windows with the ability to authenticate peers in TCP/IP version 6 (IPv6). I imagine this allows an IPv6 computer to properly test the trust and integrity of seed servers and various peers. If you don't need this service then you don't need IPv6 and you can remove it from add / remove programs in the control panel. |

"The government is merely a servant -- merely a temporary servant; it cannot be its prerogative to determine what is right and what is wrong, and decide who is a patriot and who isn't. Its function is to obey orders, not originate them." --Mark Twain
