Hi SandyGrim,
Welcome to Microsoft Answers.
a) Do you get any error message? If yes what is the exact error message?
I would like to explain that IPv6 was depended on by the RNRP (Redundant Network Routing Protocol) service. To troubleshoot the issue, let's refer to the following steps.
Step 1:
Temporarily disable Firewall and third party antivirus program on the computer for a test.
Step 2:
Verify relevant services are turned on.
1. Click "Start", type "services.msc" (without quotation marks) in Search Bar and press Enter.
2. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type your password, or click Continue.
3. Right click the "Peer Networking Grouping" service and choose Properties.
4. Please check if the service is started; if not, please click the Start button and see if it works.
5. You may also choose Automatic next to Startup type.
6. Click OK.
7. Please repeat the above steps with another service: PNRP Machine Name Publication Service.
Step 3:
Modify IPv6 registry key to enable IPV6
Important: This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: 322756
1. Click Start, type regedit in Search Bar, and then click regedit in the Programs list.
2. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type your password or click Continue.
3. Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\TCPIP6\Parameters
4. Check whether the "DisabledComponents" registry key exists. If so, let's move on the next steps.
5. Double click the "DisabledComponents" registry key and modify the value to 0.
(If the key doesn't exist, please create the key above and assign the value 0)
6. Exit Registry Editor, and then restart the computer.

Thahaseena,
With the number of views for this particular problem it would seem appropriate for MS to post a hot fix or a "Fix It" for this problem. I have worked with computers for over 30 years and I still get the willies when you start talking about modifying the
registry!!!!!!!

Hi Thahaseena,
I had the same problem connecting to my network. After installing ZoneAlarm free, my new Win 7 installation slowed down and my system was using 15-17% CPU resources at idle so I uninstalled the ZoneAlarm and reactivated Windows firewall.
That is when the network problems started. Teredo tunneling error and a code 10.
I lost Home group connectivity to my wife's laptop because the IPv6 required the use of Teredo. I thought I had to reformat the hard drive because none of the other solutions I found on the net worked.
Big Thanks to you! Your 3 step solution solved the problem.
My network is fully functioning again.
Hi,
I'm new to Windows 7, but have been using XP for years. I have just installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit on a desktop and laptop but when I try to network them I'm hitting a brick wall. Both machines currently have a workgroup and are setup as I would have setup XP for networking, but no joy. I therefore decided to try using Homegroup as this supposedly makes networking easier. I don't particularly want to use Homegroup as I would prefer to specify which discs and folders are available between machines without using the concept of "public" folders.
My first problem is the one discussed in this forum. Although all adapters on both machines DO have IPv6 enabled I get an error saying it isn't.
I would appreciate an explanation as to why something so simple is causing so many problems on my Windows 7 machines:
- Why is IPv6 being seen as not enabled, when it clearly is?
- Why should it be necesssary for me to start some services (manually) and, if I want these services to continue to start after a reboot, change their configuration to start automatically?
- Why do I need to change the registry settings (which always revert back to there previous settings - but I am using the free version of Zone Alarm, so maybe this explains this)?
I work in IT so I am fairly computer literate, but given that Windows 7 is suppose to be easier to use, I'm confused.
I've already wasted hours of my life trying to get these machines to talk to each other and would like to understand why I'm finding it so difficult to setup networking on Windows 7.
