Me too. I asked for advice, and the solution was to give preference to
IPv4 over 6.
Possibly there was some bad configuration somewhere, but where? If it
was out there, it was out of my reach.
It has not happened to me for some years, though. Go figure. Did my
distro do something? Dunno.
Consider that, for instance, this laptop has an IPv6 address:
cer@Isengard:~> ifconfig
eth0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 192.168.1.16 netmask 255.255.0.0 broadcast 192.168.255.255
inet6 fc00::16 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x0<global>
inet6 fe80::4ecc:6aff:fe61:50a1 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x20<link>
ether 4c:cc:6a:61:50:a1 txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet)
...
So applications thought that IPv6 was available.
