You are using homegroup for your networking. Homegroup can sometimes suffer from slow downs and drops. You can verify this by setting up a new netwrok connection using the "workgroup" model. If the problem clears you can then just kill the homegroup and disable IPv6

Let us know if you need help.

thanks a lot for your fast reply ken,
Im m a moderate pc user, but i dont understand much about networking,
what is a homegroup in this case? because i never activated one in windows.
everithing was ok some days ago just noticed that IPv6 (that i dont know what it is sorry) now says no network access as shows in the pic
is there a solution? can be temporary?
thanks a lot

Click on properties button and you will see whether IPv6 is in play in addition to IPv4

Hello manhunter
Yes is active, if is this what you mean
thank you

Your router may not be new enough for IPV6 or have the current firmware for it.
So try unchecking IPV6 & re-booting, to see how it works.

Hello docbrown
This is a new router and have the latest firmware, worked normally for 3 weeks and 2 days ago this started, if is not enough how can i know that?
thanks a lot

Yes alex, exactly that, as others suggested, try unticking the IPv6

Alex, I do not have IPv6 connected either. It is a new protocol and is not necessary for a simple network. Here is some information for you.

Thanks a lot for your answers, i will try this, will turning off ipv6 change anything in performance terms of the connection, torrents streaming etc?

 

[DocBrown]

I don't do much with wireless, except to test friends laptops. So my experience is with my wired network. Have had IPV6 unchecked since the early Beta days of win7. Re-Boot your router, also. No should not effect performance.

 

[manhunter2826]

Myself i have IPv6 ticked and am using Homegroup (perhaps mistakenly?) without any problems but as others mentioned, could all be dependent on router compatibility.

 

[alex22]

Well, i searched now and it looks like that supports ipv6 as is a new router, the thing i dont understand is why suddenly stopped working if it worked fine before.. the adsl works fine is just the wireless
