    Hi a1a92492,

    ·        Have you logged in to Administrator user account?

    Teredo is a tunneling protocol designed to grant IPv6 connectivity to nodes that are located behind IPv6-unaware NAT (Network address translation) devices. It defines a way of encapsulating IPv6 packets within IPv4 UDP (User Datagram Protocol) datagrams that can be routed through NAT devices and on the IPv4 internet.

    To enable IPv6:

    1. Right click on the network icon.
    2. Select Open the Network and Sharing Center.
    3. In the resulting window, select "Change adapter settings".
    4. In the Network Connections window, select the "Local Area Connection", then "Change settings of this connection" or right click-> properties.
    5. In the connection property page, check the box for "Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6)".
    6. This will enable the teredo tunnel so it can tunnel through v4.

     Regards,

    What if it is already checked but I still get the error message  "Your computer administrator has disabled Teredo locally"?

    If you are using wireless, do the same procedure for the Wieless Network Connection instead of the Local Area Connection, which is the Ethernet/wired network. 

    Another thing to try is on the Properties Window (on default Networking Tab) where you put the checkmark by "Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6))."  Show the screen, then click <Install> and let it run.  It doesn't matter if you have the checkmark or not, click <Install>.  When it finishes, Then click <OK>.    In my experience, just clicking <OK> does not automatically install and/or activate the tunneling feature as expected.  If the checkmark is not there after you put it in before, check it again and immediately click <Install>.  It should work.

    As a very, very, VERY last resort, you can go through the security policies to see if an application changed something that may be blocking you from doing this.  Do NOT TRY THIS IF YOU ARE NOT ADVANCED OR COMFORTABLE WITH ADVANCED SETTINGS.  To get to security policies to examine or change, Go to Run..enter gpedit.msc  (or go to ***C:\Windows\System32\gpedit.msc).***Go through the console tree to local policy settings.  Do NOT change anything from its default setting unless you understand the full ramifications.   Look to see if anyting obvious jumps out at you, and if you are not advanced, verify with support (or online support research) the ramification before changing anything.   If nothing stands out, then very tenderly examine group policy settings.  Group settings are critical because they affect ALL USERS, and can even block internal system-user processes, which could crash your system if you do something you do not fully understand, so tread lightly here.   Again, don't do anything without checking wth support, unless you are advanced.  As I said, though, going through the security policies is a very last resort.

    I am very happy that my post helped you.  I tried your method, but I have a little stumbling block you can probably help me with.  When I did that, IP-HTTPS did not accept the default state.  I think it requires the 'interface' to have its option changed to 'enabled state.'  Did you have to change that in the dropdown menu?  Just wondering.  I am working okay now, but your method IS a quicker way.  Looking forward to hearing from you again.

    I just had the same problem trying to add my PC to a Homegroup. The answer is a little hard to find, so thank you to @ccurts for his great info on running the Admin settings gpedit.msc

    The easier way to enable Teredo is this:

    Go to gpedit.msc as stated above. Instead of running through everything, however, simply go first to Administrator Templates (Computer Configuration). Open 'Network', Drop down to TCPIP Settings and then open the IPV6 Transition Technologies.

    The bottom 5 items here all have to deal directly with enabling Teredo. Open each one and check the 'Enable' box, but be careful to leave each in the default state! The description of each one lists the default state, so it shouldn't be a problem.

    It takes all of about 2 entire minutes to do. If that...

    Good luck!

    Namaste!
