Hello,

Mozilla is apparantly broken when it comes to IPv6 and attempting to do 
AAAA DNS lookups. I found numerous google results that report this 
problem and suggested recompiling the kernel with IPv6 disabled.

I did this, and Mozilla is again rip-roaring fast.

But now PPP does not work!

Does anybody know why PPP does not work when IPv6 is disabled in the 
kernel and what can I do about it?

I am running:
FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE-p8
mozilla-1.6_4,2

To disable IPv6, I simply edited my custom kernel config and commented out:
     #options      INET6
and recompiled.


Thanks for any info,

Duane Winner
