Cannot access other computers when IPv4 turned on
I have a brand new desktop running Win 7 64 bit and a laptop running Win 7 Ultimate.
The laptop uses IPv4 to connect, verified via ipconfig. The desktop uses IPv6. Each can see one another on the network, but cannot access one another. If I uncheck IPv4 on the laptop, I can then access the desktop PC, but cannot surf the internet. Once I click it back on, I lose access to the desktop.
I have tried connecting to both with and without homegroups enabled, but I think it's the IPv4 on the laptop that's causing the issue.
How can I get these two to play nice? The laptop hooked up wirelessly with an Aetheros AR5007EG adapter via Realtek PCIe FE Ramily controller. Can I force the laptop to use IPv6 somehow?
Thanks in advance. I've been banging my head since 930 this morning.
