Cannot access internet

<< < (3/5) > >>

It's not the router. It is the IPv6 setup.
Even though I don't use it, somehow it is necessary for the internet to work.

I enabled it on the adapter and then tried to view the properties and got the message:

"In order to configure TCP/IP, you must install or enable a network adapter card"


I don't get this message on any of the other machines when I try to view IPv6 properties.
IPv6 can't see the card and/or is sending bad packets somehow.

I've already done the IPv6 reset. What else is there to do?

Remember the adapter is fine -- I can connect to other machines on my home network.

Shane:
Odd, you shouldn't need ipv6 to get on the net unless your ISP is forcing that.

But if IPv6 is required (First time I have seen it required so far) and IPv6 isnt working on your system then that would explain the problem. And it can access to the local computers by IPv4.

Go to the network adapter and right click on it and go to properties and get a screen shot for me so I can compare it with mine. You will see on mine I have ipv6 disabled.

Shane,

I actually searched the error out on the web and came across a solution -- it got rid of the error message I was seeing but it did not restore internet connectivity. So still looking for a solution.

Shane:
Can you still post a picture of the adapter settings for me, it will also let me see what other protocols are installed :wink:

Shane, I have attached the screenshot.
