Error message "ipv6 is not enabled" when attempting to join a homegroup
When I try to join my laptop (Windows 7 Ultimate) to a homegroup created by my other laptop (also running Windows 7 Ultimate), I get an error message that "ipv6 is not enabled". The troubleshooter is finding any error.
When I look at my network connection adapter properties, the check box next to Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6) is checked. I've tried unchecking it, restarting the laptop, then re-checking it, and restarting the laptop again. That hasn't been working. Tried direct connection and wireless connection. Both adapters are generating the same error.
I uninstalled my network devices and drivers, then reinstalled them. Still getting the error.
How do I get this laptop to recognize/enable ipv6?

Had to enable the services and apply the registry fix, but it's working now.

I can't get on that laptop at the moment. My girlfriend is using it for work. I'll let you know how I fare when I can get my hands on it.
