I've been battling an IPv6 issue for weeks now and I'm running out of options. My IPv4 connection works perfectly, but IPv6 just won't cooperate. I've tried using a different PC, swapping routers, changing my network setup, and even replacing the motherboard, but nothing seems to resolve the problem. Here's a rundown of what I've done:
- Tested another computer with the same Ethernet cable and router, and it also didn't work, so it's not just my PC.
- Switched out the router for a new one, still no joy with IPv6.
- Took my PC to a friend's house on a different ISP, and IPv6 still failed.
- Replaced my motherboard for a new Ethernet NIC, but the issue remains.
- Tried a USB-to-Ethernet adapter to see if that made a difference, but no luck.
- Manually set an IPv6 address along with a working static IPv4, which didn't help.
I've also reset my network settings with command prompts and disabled/enabled my network adapter multiple times. Despite this, I can't connect to any IPv6 addresses or even access sites that are exclusively IPv6.
When I check with test-ipv6.com, it says IPv6 is unreachable. I feel like I've exhausted all possibilities: my ISP, my hardware, my drivers, and all settings seem correctly configured.
Is there anyone who has faced this kind of issue before? I'm desperate for some guidance!

Sometimes figuring out IPv6 issues can be a hassle! I often have to change my static IP a number of times, and even then, it can stop working after a reboot. Have you experienced something similar where it works for a short time and then fails?
Have you confirmed with your ISPs if they support IPv6? Sometimes both your ISP and your friend's ISP might not offer IPv6 yet, even if everything seems fine from your end. It's also worth checking if any firewalls or VPNs you might be using could be blocking IPv6 connections.
