The problem is not IPv6 which you may well need to access some of the
resources used by many applications but rather your modem's reponse to IPv6
Domain Name Service (DNS) queries.  Every time you boot in or likely every
time you sign in DHCP will re-write /etc/resolv.conf with your modem
(probably at IP address 192.168.0.1) as the first nameserver to go to.

Best solution: Upgrade the modems firmware.  Look at it's manufacturer's web
page for the update info or contact your internet provider if they own and
support it.

Second best solution: By whatever means see that the modem's DNS server is
not used.

Possible addition to the second solution, set up a DNS server within your
own box and use it as your primary name server.

I hope this helps!

Tod
