23 It seems that upstream is detecting IPv6 addresses on your network and so
24 prefers it to v4. I dare say someone more knowlegeable in v6 than me could
25 tell you how to remove v6 routes and addresses from your interface.
26
27 What are you using as name service? You need some way to tell it not to use
28 IPv6. And neither /etc/hosts nor /etc/conf.d/net should mention v6 either. If
29 you didn't mind rebooting, you could remove v6 support from the kernel with a
30 single N*; then the net wouldn't have any v6 support and upstream wouldn't try
31 to use it.
