You may need to do a manual configuration.

  1. Choose System Preferences from the Apple menu ().
  2. Click the Network icon in the System Preferences window.
  3. Choose the network service you want to use with IPv6, such as Ethernet or AirPort.
  4. Click Advanced, then click TCP/IP.
  5. Choose "Manually" from the Configure IPv6 pop-up menu.

enter your IPv6 address, router address, and prefix length,If you don't know these, contact your ISP
