For some reason, Microsoft mixed up how the interface identifier should be created even though Microsoft engineers helped write RFC 4941. Be that as it may, you can force Windows 7 to use the correct method by issuing the following command from a DOS prompt:
netsh interface ipv6 set global randomizeidentifiers=disabled

- Denied hosts since August 2009
I’ve been running a virtual server from bitfolk since the middle of August. To keep it snug and safe, it’s running denyhosts because port 22 is exposed to the Internet. Had a quick look this morning (October 20 2009) to see what it’s caught:
jmi@heavy-lifting:/etc$ cat hosts.deny | grep sshd | wc -l

They are trapped in their own psychosis that the world has to revolve around Windows on the PC.
