    I'm sharing a dual stack wired connection from a Win 7 box using the build-in hosted network service. IPv4 gets through just fine, but clients can't get anything IPv6. In adapter settings both the Ethernet and the WiFi have IPv6 enabled.

    There's only v6 link local on the client, no way to go outside.
    Code: 
    Wireless LAN adapter Wi-Fi:

   Connection-specific DNS Suffix  . : mshome.net
   Link-local IPv6 Address . . . . . : fe80::e1c1:315:3d97:2dd4%2
   IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.159.76
   Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
   Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.159.1

    What could be the cause of this?
