The router here supports both IPv6 as well as IPv4 and I currently have a block
of static IP's that I use. I have the DNS servers setup for both IPv6 and IPv4
use. I currently have the router's firewall's for IPv6 and IPv4 disabled. As I
wanted to eliminate them as a possible cause. I had setup the PC to use both
IPv4 and IPv6 as the primary and the other as a fallback to use. Neither
arrangement made a difference to the connection problem. As I think I mentioned
I have replaced/upgraded the router to a newer one and it made no difference to
the connection issue of being able to make outbound connections. I was able to
connect and ping the router. Oddly I was also able to ping the Google's DNS
servers ok. But was unable to connect or ping Google itself OR anywhere else.
