When I enable DHCPv6 with Prefix Delegation on my router, it gets an IPv6 address from my ISP (TWC) in this block, and my PC will get one automatically as well.

When I try an IPv6 test site it fails to detect anything but IPv4, and trying ping -6 google.com fails with Destination host unreachable.

Should it also provide DNS servers with IPv6 addresses?

It doesn't, but I've tried using the Google DNS IPv6 addresses on my router and on my Windows machine's settings, however that has no effect.

What else can I try to get IPv6 working?

IPConfig

  • It might be 'internet security' software. I have seen broken IPv6 connectivity because of broken security software. Can you try from a different machine or a smartphone/tablet/etc?

  • First thing I would do would be to disable Hyper-V. If you suddenly get connectivity, then you have a configuration problem with Hyper-V.

  • @MichaelHampton Thanks for the tip. Afraid it didn't help though. I wasn't even able to use a webservice to ping the router's IPv6 address, so I think I'll just wait for the ISP to officially announce support.

  • Could also be a broken router. Beyond that, I don't think there's anything you can do except to yell at TWC for breaking the Internet.

Running a traceroute to your IPv6 address, (which you didn't quite obscure well enough in your image) it dies some distance away from you.

My best judgment tells me the last router to respond is at least two or three hops away from you, so I would say either TWC hasn't fully implemented it in your area and mistakenly turned on the DHCPv6 server too early, or they implemented it but are having issues. Either way, to get it resolved, you'll have to contact them. Good luck getting past first level support.
