I had a home network set up. My desktop was sharing files I wanted to and any computer that connected to my wireless network could use the files from my desktop. Well my router went bad and my ISP mandates the a tech has to come out to change it out. So the tech came out and changed the router out and now I am having problems. I have a new laptop which is running windows 7. My desktop is running windows 7. my other two laptops are vista and xp. Before switch out of the router all my laptops had local and internet connection. After the switch my laptop with windows 7 will only get internet and not local. My desk top can see my win 7 laptop and so can the vista laptop. The win 7 laptop cannot see anything but it's self. I need help! Also under my wireless network connection status it says the following: IPv4 connectivity-internet; IPv6 connectivity-no network access. Under the properties portion of the window it gives an address for the IPv4 but under the IPv6 it is blank, I am pretty sure that is the problem but I do not know how to fix it.
