Is it normal to have limited IPV6 limited connectivity in Vista:

Doesn't appear to be affecting anything but I'm just interested as to why it is appearing as "limited".

I'm not sure, but I'm guessing it will say there's limited connectivity unless you actually have an IPv6 DHCP server to assign it an address.

OK, that makes sence. I have checked all the settings in the router and can't find any references to whether it supports IPV6 or not. I will check the manual later to see if that clarifies anything.

Thanks for the response.

turn off IPv6 in Vista and use IPv4

The vast majority of consumer grade products do not support it.
