Instead of disabling IPv6 on all the nodes in question you might be =
better off switching off Router Advertisements and investing a little =
bit of your time into what this IPv6 thing is.
Something on your network is advertising itself as the router, I suggest =
looking at it now, it won't magically fix itself.
If what is advertising itself as a IPv6 router is not the right device, =
disable. And while you are at it, setup one of which you know it is =
supposed to be one. It's really not all that hard anymore.

And as I discovered a few days ago, I can't access github.com from my =
IPv6 only connection, which is a problem for software development. And =
for those wondering, the circuit is brand new, and no, it really doesn't =
have any IPv4.
Good thing that Google works though, and the website of my local Grocery =
store does too.
