That hasn't worked in some time (see the list archives). Perhaps it does
now, but System|Help|Internet and Networks / Troubleshooting seems to
provide a way that might:

5.2.7. IPv6 Not Supported

   1. IPv6 is supported by default in Ubuntu and can sometimes cause
problems.
   2. To disable it, open a Terminal (Applications ▸ Accessories ▸
Terminal) and type the command: gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/aliases.
   3. Find the line alias net-pf-10 ipv6 and change it to read alias
net-pf-10 off.
   4. Reboot Ubuntu.
