    IPv6
    « on: June 27, 2010, 05:50:24 AM »
    Here is my problem, I have a desktop running Windows 7 home premium 64bit and a Samsung N140 netbook running Windows 7 home premium 32bit.
    I set up a homegroup on the desktop and attempted to join it with the netbook so I could share the USB printer, after entering the password from the desktop homegroup into the netbook set up it says it cannot join.
    So I read several how-to's on various forums and found out that on the desktop IPv6 was disabled, but it has a tick in the box for it under properties and the only option is to install or uninstall, no enable option.
    Am I missing the obvious, or is this a common problem.
    Any help will be much appreciated

      I have followed various instructions over two days, enabling services, registry alterations, and then I find after e-mailing Belkin that my router does not support IPv6 although it is only 6 months old.

        In the end I did it the old fashioned way through a Network and no problems, but It has taught me something new.
