Prefer ipv4 over ipv6

hi, I want to set ipv4 to be preferred over ipv6, the other day i've used the tips from this Ping returns IPv6 Address, ping IPv4 in Command Prompt - TheITBros on my 2 windows10 computers and everything worked out great! Now, i just did a win10 update and i noticed that that no longer works even by doing the very same "command" and it kinda gets ignored. Did they just remove the functionality? This is what i get from netsh interface ipv6 show prefixpolicies (i don't get the longer list anymore but just these):

So it seems to be preferring ipv4, yet when i ping my site (available on both ipv4 and ipv6), i get output with ipv6, same as google.com - the other day it was working nicely to ipv4 and i only used these 2 commands they suggested: netsh interface ipv6 set prefix ::/96 60 3 netsh interface ipv6 set prefix ::ffff:0:0/96 55 4 what's going on? I don't want to disable it completely (i know i can disable it from the router or from the network card properties, i just want to de-prioritise it) [Version 10.0.19044.1387] thank you, Gabrio - - - Updated - - - might have answered myself, i've added netsh interface ipv6 add prefixpolicy ::/0 40 1 and it did the trick... i wonder if it will stick now

 

ping localhost gives ipv6 responce , how to change to ipv4

Hi Vanam,

I'm Rodrigo and I will help you.

IPv6 will always be preferred over IPv4, to force ping IPv4, add -4 to the command.

ping localhost -4

 

Connectivity (IPv4/IPv6): Disconnected

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



Ideally this Connectivity (IPv4/IPv6): Disconnected, means that the devices in not in use or not connected and it could be any device for example, Ethernet, WIFI, Bluetooth or Local Area Connection.



If you are using WI-FI for internet connection then Ethernet will show Connectivity (IPv4/IPv6): Disconnected.
