IPV6 setting options
Currently the IPV6 is set to "disabled". I want to turn this on but not sure of the right option. The options given on drop down menu are: Auto detect, Auto Config, 6to4 Tunnel, 6rd, Pass Through...

Try auto-detect.

Connected to Virgin Media. Planning to move to Sky FTTP ONT route. I have read that Virgin does not support IPV6

Not much point in enabling it then.
If my experience on BT's network is anything to go by it can bring your network to a grinding halt.

So, be prepared for problems if you enable IPv6 on a network that doesn't support it.
