I haven't tried it yet, but will.

I'm more than willing to disable IPv6, but I'm not sure where or how. I
tried "sysctl -a | grep ip' earlier, and every name it returned started
with "net.ipv4" which I took to mean that IPv6 wasn't enabled.
I've been rustling through the online docs, and found this in
/usr/share/doc/initscripts-6.95/sysconfig.txt:
NETWORKING_IPV6=yes|no
Enable or disable global IPv6 initialization
Default: no
So if IPv6 is enabled, I've no idea how to disable it....I just downloaded
the Linux IPv6 HOWTO from ibiblio.org, and according to it if IPv6 is
enabled the file /proc/net/if_inet6 should exist. It doesn't.
I've just about decided this is a real bug...
Thanks for the help.
