IPv6 says limited

One of our employees purchased a new Toshiba Satellite P105-S6207 that come
with Vista Home Premium. She didn't like Vista and I spoke with their tech
support and they say the laptop was made specifically for Vista and they
won't be providing Windows XP drivers any time soon. I told her she is stuck
with it for now.

So the internet was working great for a week connecting through a Linksys
wireless G router. Since this weekend she says she can't on the internet at
all now. I took a look it and it connects to the router no problem. Her
daughter has Windows XP on a laptop and has no problems. When I looked at
the wireless connection status and settings, it says ipv4 is connected local
and internet. But ipv6 says limited. Any idea on why she cannot get
internet access at all now and she says she hasn't done anything different
except type a few letters and pay some bills.

Disable IPV6 and stick with IPV4.

What is the procedure in Vista to disable the ipv6? I haven't worked with
Vista much.

I've had a very similar problem -- can hardly get online using a new
Vista computer, while my wife's XP laptop is doing fine (eg, she
connects at around 4 Mbits while I'm at around 150k...). I tried
unchecking IPV6 and haven't really seen any affect. Can you all think
of anything else that might be going on? Vista was ok for around a
week, not it's terrible. Thanks!
