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.



In order to understand the issue and assist you accordingly, we need some information

• What is your network setup?
  
• Are you seeing any errors?
  
• Where you are seeing this information?

Meanwhile, try the troubleshooting steps referred in this article:

Fix network connection issues in Windows and check if it works.

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

 

IPv4 not working ipv6 works fine

Recently I upgraded my windows to fall creator update by clean installation. I use a personal hotspot device connected via usb for internet access. Before update 1709 everything used to work fine but now I can only browse ipv6 websites. IPv4 shows
no internet access. Troubleshoot says my pc is failing to obtain ip address. I’ve tried netsh commands and releasing and renewing ip. Even checked if essential services were running in services. IPv4 option is checked in properties of internet connection.
Did three clean installation but it didn’t help. Contacted my isp but it didn’t help. I can browse IPv4 websites on my iPad and phone and laptop.
