Windows 10: IPv6 Shenanigans

I've got a very odd issue that I can't seem to figure out. If any one can give me some ideas that would be great because I'm just pulling my hair out at this point.

Intermittently IPv6 stops working on one of my machines. IPv6 test - IPv6/4 connectivity and speed test says that only DNS6 + IP4 is reachable. However, ipconfig /all says that all IPv6 addresses are still assigned and present. The DNS can resolve an IPv6 for a domain but I can't ping any internet IPv6 addresses.





If I turn off the computer's WiFi and immediately turn it back on, then IPv6 test - IPv6/4 connectivity and speed test shows everything back in green and says native IPv6. I can both resolve and ping and IPv6 address.





Unfortunately this is only a temporary fix because less than 10min later IPv6 stops working again.

It's like as if something is blocking or disabling IPv6.

I've tried 3 different WLAN adapter drivers. I've even tried clean installs of both the 1909 and the 2004 with no software except for the latest system drivers, so as to rule out any software or program incompatibilities.

This is the only device that seems to be having this issue and I'm currently using an eero system, so there aren't really any router logs that I can look at.

Would anyone know a where in Windows 10 I can try to look to see what is shutting off the IPv6?

Thanks

:)

 

World IPv6 Launch Solidifies Global Support for New Internet Protocol

Major Internet service providers (ISPs), home networking equipment manufacturers, and web companies around the world are coming together to permanently enable IPv6 for their products and services by 6 June 2012.

Organized by the Internet Society, and building on the successful one-day World IPv6 Day event held on 8 June 2011, World IPv6 Launch represents a major milestone in the global deployment of IPv6. As the successor to the current Internet Protocol, IPv4, IPv6 is critical to the Internet’s continued growth as a platform for innovation and economic development.





“The fact that leading companies across several industries are making significant commitments to participate in World IPv6 Launch is yet another indication that IPv6 is no longer a lab experiment; it's here and is an important next step in the Internet’s evolution,” commented Leslie Daigle, the Internet Society’s Chief Internet Technology Officer. “And, as there are more IPv6 services, it becomes increasingly important for companies to accelerate their own deployment plans.”

ISPs participating in World IPv6 Launch will enable IPv6 for enough users so that at least 1% of their wireline residential subscribers who visit participating websites will do so using IPv6 by 6 June 2012. These ISPs have committed that IPv6 will be available automatically as the normal course of business for a significant portion of their subscribers. Committed ISPs are:

• AT&T
• Comcast
• Free Telecom
• Internode
• KDDI
• Time Warner Cable
• XS4ALL

Participating home networking equipment manufacturers will enable IPv6 by default through the range of their home router products by 6 June 2012. Committed equipment manufacturers are:

• Cisco
• D-Link

Web companies participating in World IPv6 Launch will enable IPv6 on their main websites permanently beginning 6 June 2012. Inaugural participants are:

• Facebook
• Google
• Microsoft Bing
• Yahoo!

Content delivery network providers Akamai and Limelight will be enabling their customers to join this list of participating websites by enabling IPv6 throughout their infrastructure.
As IPv4 addresses become increasingly scarce, every segment of the industry must act quickly to accelerate full IPv6 adoption or risk increased costs and limited functionality online for Internet users everywhere. World IPv6 Launch participants are leading the way in this effort.

For more information about World IPv6 Launch, products and services covered, as well as links to useful information for users and information about how other companies may participate, visit World IPv6 Launch.

About the need for IPv6
IPv4 has approximately four billion IP addresses (the sequence of numbers assigned to each Internet-connected device). The explosion in the number of people, devices, and web services on the Internet means that IPv4 is running out of space. IPv6, the next-generation Internet protocol which provides more than 340 trillion, trillion, trillion addresses, will connect the billions of people not connected today and will help ensure the Internet can continue its current growth rate indefinitely.

About the Internet Society
The Internet Society is the world’s trusted independent source of leadership for Internet policy, technology standards and future development. Based on its principled vision and substantial technological foundation, the Internet Society works with its members and Chapters around the world to promote the continued evolution and growth of the open Internet through dialog among companies, governments, and other organizations around the world.

IPv6

Hi Wally

It would be very unusual of IPv6 did not appear on your network acapter . .

Right click your network adapter and choose Properties

On the networking Tab of the resulting dialog, does IPv6 not appear?

If not, click Install - Protocol - Add

Does IPv6 appear in the list of protocols that can be added?

 

IPv6 No Internet Access.

Thanks for update. Since running the troubleshooter and performing the suggestions on the article didn't work, we suggest that you try resetting your IPv6 by following these steps:

1. In the search file on your taskbar, type CMD.

2. On the search results, right-click Command Prompt and choose
Run as administrator.

3. If prompted by the User Account Control (UAC), click Yes.

4. Copy and paste each command below and press the Enter key after each to run them.

netsh winsock reset catalog

netsh int ipv6 reset reset.log

5. Restart your computer after running the commands above.

If you still need help, don't hesitate to reply.
