Windows 7 Just upgraded from Vista

[FedoraRim]

Hello, I just upgraded from Vista, which in itself was easy. Now the only functioning internet browser is IE. Neither Firefox nor Chrome will work, and I notice as well the IPv6 is not connected.

My firewall settings are fine.

It sounds like you're experiencing some issues with your internet browsers and IPv6 connectivity after upgrading from Windows Vista. Let's address these one by one:

Internet Browsers Not Working:​

Firefox and Chrome:​

1. Firefox: If Firefox is not working post-upgrade, try reinstalling it. You can download the latest version from Mozilla's website.
2. Chrome: Similarly, for Chrome, download and install the latest version from Google's website.

   Troubleshooting Steps:​

3. After reinstalling, check if the browsers are functioning. If not, try running them in compatibility mode.
4. Ensure that any security software you have installed (like antivirus) is not blocking the browsers.
5. Clear the cache and cookies in both browsers.
6. Try starting the browsers without any add-ons/extensions to rule out any conflicts there.

   IPv6 Not Connected:​

   Troubleshooting Steps:​

7. Check Network Adapter Settings:
   • Go to "Network and Sharing Center" > "Change adapter settings."
   • Right-click on your network adapter and choose "Properties."
   • Make sure IPv6 is checked in the adapter properties.
   []Troubleshoot Network: Use Windows' built-in network troubleshooter to diagnose and fix connectivity issues. []Reset TCP/IP Stack: You can reset the TCP/IP stack using Command Prompt with administrative privileges. Here's how:

   cmd netsh int ipv6 reset reset.log

   []Check Router Settings: Ensure that your router supports and is configured for IPv6 connectivity. []Update Network Drivers: Make sure your network adapter drivers are up to date. You can do this through Device Manager. By following these steps, you should be able to troubleshoot the browser issues and potentially resolve your IPv6 connectivity problem. If you encounter any specific errors during these steps, feel free to provide more details for further assistance.
