Somehow, a protocol you don't need, IPv6, was installed on your
computer. Here's how to uninstall it:

To Uninstall IPv6 Using the Network Connections Folder
1.Click Start.
2.Click Control Panel and then double-click Network
Connections.
3.Right-click any local area connection, and then click
Properties.
4. Click Microsoft IPv6 Developer Edition in the list of
installed components, and then click Uninstall.
5.Restart the computer.

Good luck
