    Do you have a link to this test?

    Are you running this from work or from home. Your "server" would indeed be your ISP. (As far as I know!).

    http://test-ipv6.com/

    Also if you go in to Control Panel, Network, Right click on the Local Area Connection and click Properties. If you select properties on the TCP/IP protocol you should see it in there, or may need to add it.

    Try the link I posted I got the following.
    Your system will continue to work for you on World IPv6 day. However, we found that your server only supports IPv4 at this time. You'll simply continue to use IPv4 to reach your favorite web sites.

    Just checked network connection properties. It says I have TCP/IPv6 installed and it has obtain ipv6 address automatically ticked. So the issue is with the ISP then?

    Yeah, your ISP has to support IPv6. If it doesn't, you could set up a IPv6 tunnel. Have a look here.
