Go to system prefs, Network (Wifi)->Advanced->TCP/IP tab and set Configure IPv6 to "Automatically". Save and you should be good to go. Might have to disconnect/re-connect or turn wifi off/on.


Good luck!

My wireless provider has IPv6, but there were issues still with IPv4 only apps. I found a workaround using Terminal:

networksetup -setmanual Wi-Fi 172.20.10.3 255.255.255.240 172.20.10.1

(this sets a static IPv4 within the hotspot DHCP range, you'll want to set back to DHCP as noted below to be able to connect back to other WiFi neworks)

To go back to DHCP on the interface:

networksetup -setdhcp Wi-Fi
