I have been fighting this for a week with a couple of windows 7 laptops. I finally fixed this by adding my servers hostname & IP (IPV4) to my hosts file. The hosts file is in
c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc.
The line to add is IP <tab> hostname
example:
192.168.0.22 myHomeServer
The hosts file is read only so you will need to add yourself to read / write privileges for the file.
Now, with that said I also enabled DHCPV6 on my router. There were a few threads on the beta forum for Vail that suggested this. These forums hinted that DHCPV6 needed to be enabled so the connector could be installed using the hostname vs the
ip address.
example:
do not use http://192.168.0.22/connect
use http://myHomeServer/connect
The beta posts hinted that this would setup the connector with the home server's ipv6 address instead of the home server's ipv4 address. But, in my case enabling DHCPv6 did not let me use the
http://myHomesServer/connect until I added the hosts file entry shown above. The DHCPV6 enabling takes a little time. So, try the hosts name entry first. If that doesn't work then try
also to enable DHCPV6. There are several websites that explain how to enable DHCPV6 using a ipv6 address gotton from Hurricane Electric registration. It is a fairly painless process. I am a real novice to ipv6. So, I won't try to give
the steps to get this done in this post.
Good luck
