Ramhound almost 9 yearsIf you are going to set it to Manual, you have to configure what the address will be, we can't tell you that. Are you 100% your ISP even assigns you a IPv6 address? Based on your screenshots it does not even look like you have a router that is attempting to assign a IPv6 address.

Ramhound almost 9 yearsYour router was assigned an IPv6 address. That does not mean it supports assigning IPv6 addresses itself.
-
whitesiroi almost 9 years@Ramhound sorry, I'm a nub at this, what should I check? My router doesn't support IPv6? thank you )

Ramhound almost 9 yearsYou do understand this website is primarly English. So a screenshot(s) of an interface most everyone can't read is difficult. Which is the reason I am phrasing my comments the way I am.
