Modem - Router - NIC card problem

[JadeDragon]

Several years ago I changed my phone service to Vonage. I think that is when my problem began. I would no longer be able to connect peer-to-peer in games and could not transfer files in ICQ. That's still the issue. I think that what is creating the problem is the factory installed nic because with Vonage, I am using a router which handles my wired network. I did the ipconfig/all and this is what it gave me:

It seems to me that I should disable the nic card in Device Manager. Would that allow the router to be in control instead of the nic? What should I do, and in what order?
Many thanks in advance for all your excellent advice

no disabling the NIC will know you offline. from your printout the router is already in control. you will have to open ports on your router that are not open by default (most p2p) especially if you are using only the router from Vonage. enter 192.168.15.1 in the address bar of IE and click on application and gaming (thats what mine is on the wrtp54g yours may be similar)

this is an IPv6 address which is useless to home users

version 6 addresses are not configured. by default vista gives you a version 6 address even though you may have a 32 bit address. eventually home users will be using version6 addressing becuase of the shortage of ip addresses. v6 is harmless and does not need to be uninstalled

hum; by experience, removing IPv6 has resolve every case so far.

it will be light years before v6 is useful at home, as the internet per se has been slow
to adopt it.
