Enabling IPv6 in Windows 7

This post is probably more of a rant than anything. Basically, I want to network my (rather aging) G5 iMAC with an HP machine running Windows 7. This is going to be tricky enough in that I know naff all about networking.

However, I can't even get over the first hurdle. I need to create a home group on the HP but it won't let me as IPv6 isn't enabled. Can I find a simple check box 'enable IPv6'? Can I heck. The troubleshooting section was no use whatsoever so started googling. Plenty of others have had the same issue and the resolutions seem to involve dabbling about in registries and stuff.

I'm not confident to go into that sort of depth but maybe I'll have to. I'm just having a bitch. Why can't I simply check a box on a function that is so vital? Grrrr...

Anyway, Happy New Year!
