Windows 10: Network connection settings problem IPv6 address

Hi everyone,




I always choose to “Obtain an IPv6 address automatically” in my network settings, but the settings often change to “Use the following IPv6 address” by itself where the IPv6 address is changed to some weird values like fdaa::1:f2 and Subnet prefix length is 64.



The network connection settings I am talking about can be found by going to “Control Panel”à “View network status and tasks” à “Change adapter settings” and right click on the network connection to select “Properties” and in the items list, select “Internet Protocol Version 6 TCP/IPv6” and then click on “Properties” to see the settings under “General” tab.



Does anyone know what could have caused the settings to change by itself? And how do I stop this problem from happening again?

how do i enable IPv6

Hi,

Xbox One can connect to networks using two protocols that allow devices to transmit information: the traditional IPv4 communications protocol, and its newer version, IPv6. For Xbox One to connect to the Internet using IPv6, your home router needs to
have IPv6 enabled, and your Internet service provider (ISP) must support IPv6.

IPv6 expands the number of possible IP addresses (the unique numbers that represent every device on the Internet). And—most useful for Xbox—the expansion removes the need for Network
Address Translation (NAT), which can interfere with multiplayer gaming and chat over IPv4 networks.

Your Xbox will work normally without IPv6 connectivity. However, for the best possible experience, we recommend enabling IPv6 on your network.

Here’s how to check:

• On your controller, Press the Xbox button to open the guide.
• Select Settings > All settings.
• Select Network > Network settings.

If your Xbox One has IPv6 connectivity, your Current Network Status will read IPv4 & IPv6. (To see your actual IP and gateway addresses, select Advanced settings.)

Several home routers support IPv6 but disable it by default. Check the manual for your router, or visit our Networking
Hardware Information support forum. If your router has IPv6 enabled, but your Xbox is connected on IPv4, I suggest that you try
contacting your ISP to see if IPv6 is available in your area.

Regards.
