Scott - there are a couple current threads here that may help. Check out
the threads named "disable IPV6?" and "Why is Web Browsers so slow at
Resolving Hosts?".
But your answer may be as simple as adding this line:
alias net-pf-10 off
to the file /etc/modprobe.conf. Add it right after the line that says
"include /etc/modprobe.conf.dist". Then you'll need to reboot and see if
that helps.
