I noticed another post that dealt with this problem but it was between and XP machine and a Win7 machine. I am having the same problem but both of my machines are Win7. I have a new computer that I want to use as the Homegroup computer. When I try to join the Homegroup from my laptop it keeps telling me "Your network connection must have IPv6 enabled.......". I have run the HomeGroup troubleshooter on both machines. In the Network Connection Details on both machines it shows that IPv6 Connectivity has No network access. After hours of researching on how to fix this problem I am coming up blank! PLEASE HELP!Deanna S Jenkins

Thank you for your information........I just gave up and created a workgroup LOLDeanna S Jenkins

That's fine. But atleast you should have tried modfying the registry Modify IPv6 registry key to enable IPV6 ========================== a. Click Start, type regedit in Search Bar, and then click regedit in the Programs list. Note: If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type your password or click Continue. b. Locate and then click the following registry subkey: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\TCPIP6\Parameters c. Check whether the "DisabledComponents" registry key exists. If so, let's move on the next steps. d. 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) e. Exit Registry Editor, and then restart the computer. For more information, we can refer to the link below:
