1. Click Start Control Panel.
2. Type Network in the Control Panel Search box.
3. Select Network And Sharing Center.
4. Click Manage Network Connections in the Tasks pane on the left.
5. Right-click Local Area Connection, and select Properties.
6. Select Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6), and click Properties. Your display will look similar to Figure 6-8.
