As I understand, that method no longer works in Fedora 7. You must totally prevent the ipv6 module from loading as was stated previously. I think an alternate method would be to blacklist ipv6.ko altogether: /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist > > In /etc/sysconfig/network I had to change the line > > NETWORKING_IPV6=yes > > to > > NETWORKING_IPV6=no > > to completely get rid of IPV6. > > Henry > That option I believe was removed for Fedora 7. It was pointed out to me that if there's a *real* problem which is solved by disabling IPv6, then that's not normal -- that means there's a bug either in Fedora or more likely a problem with the local network (or nameservers) which should be reported and fixed. Chances are you should report the problem to your ISP or network admin. I understand that's not easy for everyone. If you believe it is Fedora specific use bugzilla. -Mauriat
