Explanation (?): |
The peer name resolution protocol service provides Windows a pseudo serverless based name resolution system that runs through TCP/IP version 6 (IPv6). A seed server is used to populate a peer cloud and these peers hold onto a portion of the name record. This service is installed when you install IPv6 so if you want to disable this service then I would suggest just uninstalling IPv6 from add / remove programs in the control panel. |

"Oh yes. That's how it starts. But the road from legitimate suspicion to rampant paranoia is very much shorter then we think... For the first link the chain is formed. The first speech censored, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably." --Captain Jean Luc Picard (ST TNG, Drumhead)
