Homegroup issue

[woodbutchr]

I am Trying to connect my laptop to the homegroup, but keep getting message "must enable Internet Protocol Version 6 IPv6" I've clicked on the adapter properties and IPv6 is checked. I am able to connect to the internet @ remote printer through my wireless router. Any suggestions?
